- I was objecting, saying that it was MORE difficalt to access the numpab-keys
- on an ST-Book, as it realy doesn't have a numpad as such. So far I haven't
- tried to see if the psudo-numpad gives the same scan codes as a real numpad,
- but why do * + - 0 HAVE to be the numpad keys, why not use the normal * + -
- 0 and just check for the ascii value? I know that I'd get *issed off if I
- was _forced_ to use the numpad to access keys that are also available on the
- normal key-pad.
