Thanks for that info. I don't use laptops, but I do realise that there 
is no keypad. I didn't know that having numlock on would cause any 
problems with a laptop. I expected it to be simply ignored.

Anyway, the problem is sorted. I installed numlockx this morning and 
this afternoon, when I logged on using Fluxbox, the numlock light came 
on, so it is now working.
