This is a very good question and one that needs to be directed to IBM.

OS/2 always turns NumLock off whenever a new session/process is started.  It
may be that some of your programs are turning it back on again and some aren't.

Does anyone have an address of someone in IBM we can mail to try and get this
problem fixed?  As far as I can see, it is actually the WPS that turns NumLock
off (if you boot to text mode, NumLock stays on until you run PMSHELL).

bcnu,

Richard.
