The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is trying to reassign functions to the keys on the numeric keypad, but the keys will not change. According to memo WP51_2825D, this could be a BIOS limitation. Solutions: This is not a BIOS limitation because the customer has the Enhanced keyboard and BIOS. The numbers on the numerical keypad (when Num-Lock is active) are not considered different or separate keys from the number keys on top of the keyboard in WordPerfect. There are different scan-codes for these keys and are considered different keys to the BIOS. WordPerfect has its own mappings and has made these keys the same while processing. Therefore, a user cannot map them as separate keys. Note: The user can remap the keys on the numerical keypad that equal the Home, End, Page Up, etc., when the Num Lock key is inactive, and they will be considered different keys (just like the gray "enhance" keys of the same name).
