I am currently designing an application that will use only the keypad on an IBM-PC. I would like to set the NumLock key automatically from within the program (thereby eliminating manual operator intervention). I could convert the scan codes for the cursor-control keys to numbers EXCEPT for the fact that the keypad 5 key does not return a scan code when the NumLock key is in cursor-control mode. I have tried to use a BIOS call to Int $16. I can check the key's status and tell someone to change it, but I would like to eliminate this step. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
