Re: HMC Question

Sounds like a laptop keyboard

Yes that keyboard is a little whacky.

Just to bring in the geezer factor.  Due to rack space considerations
there is no separate numeric keypad.  But you will notice there is a
numlock key.  The numbers overlay certain letters on the keyboard (like I,
J, K, L).  Some of the old geezers will remember keypunch machines, etc
that did the same.  However, in this jerked over Linux machine, the
Numlock simply turns off processing of those alphabetic keys and does not
turn on the numerics.  Hitting numlock again restores function to the
letters.  This same keyboard works great with Windows.
