Scancode / keycodes?

[Seth Cohn]

Yes, this is a known problem.  I only just the other day found the
solution....

thanks to Graham, this simple solution works well:
The default setting for Client Access's mapping of the
keypad is arrow/directional keys.  Remap those 10 keys (0-9 and .)
to be 0-9 and . not the directions.

Not sure why the numlock seems to be ignored after running VNC,
but as Graham suggests, maybe it's a non-32bit issue.

Works for me, so I'm happy.
