The following DEBUG session will create the file NUMSCRL.COM to do what you
wanted:

	DEBUG NUMSCRL.COM
	file not found
	-a
	-XXXX:0100 mov ax,40
	-XXXX:0103 mov ds,ax
	-XXXX:0105 mov al,[40]
	-XXXX:0108 and al,df
	-XXXX:010A or al,10
	-XXXX:010C mov [17],al
	-XXXX:010F ret
	-XXXX:0110 
	-r cx
	CX 0000
	-10
	-w
	Writing 0010 bytes
	-q

You have now created NUMSCRL.COM, which will turn off the NumLock and turn
on the ScrollLock.
