My work involves manualy creating data files which can be very slow boring work. Since I normally use a normal XT (archaic I know!!) use of the number keypad is a big help. In the past I have used spreadsheets to enter data because of their ability to handle small macros which will move the cursor one cell down or to the right after each time I hit the return key. I have recently started using emacs but have a couple of problems doing the same thing and have the following questions. 1) How can I "bind" the actual numbers (0-1) to the numeric keypad, hopefully with the num lock on so the original settings such as home, pg down, etc still work when the num lock is off. 2) When writing a macro, what character or function can I put in so that emacs waits until I input the number from the numeric keypad, and then continues to execute when I hit the return key? Thanks Jim
