I'm looking for a programmatic way to turn the numeric lock off and the scroll lock on when I power up my PC. Does anyone know a way to do this other than manually. -- Mark Fox mfox@cipc1.Dayton.NCR.COM Office (513) 445-6384 NCR Corporate Information Technology Integration Services

I use it to this day for exactly what you want (it toggles caps-lock as well). I've got it at home, so if you have no luck finding it let me know... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Tony Salerno "I'm stuck in '56 with a brain like swiss cheese ajs@corona.att.com and YOU'RE having technical difficulties?" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - Sam, Quantum Leap -=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Does anyone know a way to do this : Yes. Get /pc/ts/tsutld18.arc for the facility. The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.37, or by using our mail server (use the latter if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to send prerecorded instructions on request. (If you don't get the instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email address cannot be reached by a simple email reply. Contact your system manager for devicing a proper mail path for you, because unless you do, you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail server anyway. If you are in North America first consider using an ftp site near you to spare the overseas load.) ...................................................................
