I think this is the right forum, I've got a laptop without a number pad, and I need to be able to us

I have a laptop, and I'm currently on a program which requires me to use the plus sign on the number pad, I don't want to have to transfer the program to another computer, But I need to be able to use the plus sign of the number pad
Is there anything I can do? Is there a special key combination I can use? Is there some keyboard model that I can attach and use in replacement of my laptop keyboard? Like a keyboard with a wire that can attach to a port on my laptop

NOTE: My laptop is a Toshiba, if that's important, and obviously can't use the average keyboard

This probably isn't the right forum, I wouldn't know, I'd be glad to redirect this if it's not, just tell me.

Plug a regular keyboard into the laptop's ps2 connector.

How about the on-screen keyboard in the accessibility group.

Use the numeric keypad on your laptop.
Fn F11 on my Toshiba.

most laptops i've seen have a function to turn part of the keyboard into
number pad...something like FN + NumLK
