I was fussing in general, but the keyboard in question has an f-key lock 
button, and the SOB defaults to disabling them at bootup.  The next keyboard 
I put on that box will not have that feature or it won't make it to the 
register.

AFAIK, there is no dependency in EMC2, on the numlock state, at powerup, or 
any time later.
