Arrow Keys unavailable with NumLock On

[Gian Paolo Piscopo]

Hi
I have this problem in the dos enviroment of WinXP
running a foxpro for msdos Application in browse windows
arrow keys seems disabled, but if I turn NumLock Off they
work.
How to solve this, in fact the browse windows I use are
to enter data (mostly numeric) and it is not practicle to
switch continuosly NumLock on and off to move through
fields and edit them.

Thank You

I think you're going to need to post this in a Foxpro user's group.
Since XP has no true DOS but only an emulator, some DOS programs may
not work perfectly in XP. Perhaps there is an updated version of your
application that will work better in XP.

When you activate NumLock, that is exactly what it means, it locks you out fro
access to the numpad which includes the up and down arrows. Being in a DO
environment doesn't make any difference. Hold down the Shift key and pres
the arrow key and see what happens.
