My first posting.......be kind :-)

We have a problem with Kermit (2.32/A) and certain PCs.  On some PCs the
Numeric Keypad "5" key does nothing.  We do try to redefine that key; the
keys works on some PCs and not on others.  The redefinition seems to be
fine.

Fails on: NCR PC8 (NCR ROM BIOS 4-2), NCR PC6, NCR PC8/10
Works on: IBM AT (original), DTK clone (Phoenix BIOS?)

We run DOS 3.2 on all machines.

We use the following set key for the numeric "5" key in our ini file:
set key \332 \27G

Show key does the following:
Kermit-MS>show key<CR>
Push key to be shown (? shows all):

....Pressing the numeric keypad "5" produces nothing....

Listing all keys with a "?" shows:
Scan code \332 decimal is defined as
String: ^[G

Could it be a BIOS problem on the NCR?  Since it works on some machines
should I assume it isn't Kermit?  (Please say yes...someone!)

Please Email responses.

Thanks in advance......
Jeff

PS: Sorry for cross posting this to comp.sys.ncr...just hedging my bets. (We
    have an NCR 32/600: justification enough? ;-)
