I would like to see that my numlock on my keyboard is default 'on' when I start up my pc. Can someone tell me how this can be achieved? Thanks! Andre Koster, The Netherlands e-mail: andre@cv.ruu.nl

Can someone tell me how this can be achieved? Put the command CAPS n+ in your autoexec.bat. Caps.exe is in /pc/ts/tsutld18.arc. "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. It that case, 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.)" ...................................................................

Hm...this is the first time I have ever seen this request - the usual request is how to turn it off.... anyhow...the shortest program to turn Numlock on is: begin 644 numl.com 9AQ0Cq9+UcVQ2nG++ + end if anybody wants a program to turn Numlock off, it is even shorter: begin 644 nonuml.com 7AQ0Cq86L-AoU + end XXdecode, and run the program from autoexec.bat.... -frisk Fridrik Skulason Technical Editor of the Virus Bulletin (UK) (author of F-PROT) E-Mail: frisk@rhi.hi.is Fax: 354-1-28801

Well, unless you have a 286, this is not even *possible*. PC & XT BIOS support for the keyboard does not include LEDs. Those came with the AT. There's no provision for sending anything *to* the keyboard except a "reset" code. With an AT, all you need to do is flip the numlock flag in the BIOS data area in low RAM. There are lots of programs for doing that, just stick one in your autoexec. A few AT BIOS's allow setting the initial state of the numlock key. -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.uucp personal: CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com business: CIS: [76376,1107] 76376.1107@compuserve.com

I have a Zenith Z-181 laptop which is most definitely an XT as far removed from 286 as you may wish to get :-), and my caps.exe from /pc/ts/tsutld18.arc at garbo.uwasa.fi archives works from the autoexec.bat without a hitch. (LEDs are surely not required for turning the numlock on or off). But don't take my word for it. Try caps n+ on some XT. ...................................................................

I'm afraid I have to confirm that CAPS.EXE (as well as TURN.COM) does not work on my PC. That is, not as I want to. Sure the numlock is set for the numeric part of my keyboard, but also are my arrows etc. changed into numbers! That, of course, I do not want. And indeed, the numlock LED does not turn on, altough that cannot bother me. Nevertheless I hereby thank all those who've tried to help me. Andre Koster andre@cv.ruu.nl

A little annoying, but you can live with it. To get around this problem, I have a utility which puts a clock in the upper corner of the screen with arrows for the status of the toggles. If you don't have it Prof. Salmi, I'll send it to garbo. -- <================================><===============================> || Christopher Landers || PURDUE UNIVERSITY - KRAN 708 || || Krannert Computing Center || West Lafayette, IN 47907 || <=================== landers@zeus.mgmt.purdue.edu ================>
