[G4] re Numeric keyboard not working.

[Pat Crowe]

I checked in Apple Help and found this

My numeric keypad doesn't work
The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the  
keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether  
the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to  
enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be  
able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.



Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad  
functions.



If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock  
key is located in the numeric keypad. If you're using a portable  
computer, the Num Lock is a function key, marked Num Lock (F6). If  
your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing  
Shift-Clear.

Most portables have a group of keys on the keyboard that can function  
as the numeric keypad. To find the keypad, look for small numbers or  
symbols in the lower-right corner of keys on the right side of your  
keyboard. Press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn on the keypad. The  
green light glows on the Num Lock key when the keypad is active.
