[G4] re Numeric keyboard not working.

[RICHARD NORTHOUSE]

PatC,

Thanks for the response. I too looked that up under help, tried to  
clear things out but still no numbers from the numeric keypad. The  
numbers just above the regular keyboard work fine, the =,/*.-,+ all  
work perfect from the numeric keypad, just not any numbers ???

I really appreciate all the responses I am getting -- and incidentally  
-- I am trying all of your suggestions.

I have tried three different keyboards -- all with the same result  --  
so the problem must be some toggle thrown the wrong way  on the  
computer itself.

Rich
