Default Num Lock for 4355?

Anyone know of a way to keep the numeric keys active on this puppy? Seems to me to be a much needed function for data entry in Excel.

Thanks!

I've had trouble trying to find this solution as well. I'd also like to know what buttons act as a stylus tap.

Anyone????? 8O

I don't think we can do this with our 4355's. I've looked high and low for any reference to this without any luck. Maybe an opportunity for a 3rd party vendor to do some key address programming, or maybe we'll get lucky and HP will come up with a patch of some sort. Seems like a gross omission on HP's part - this feature would make the 4355 so much more useable to many, I bet.

The num lock would be nice. I'd also like to see a keyboard utility that makes capital letters like my old T|C did.

If you hold down the letter for 1/2 sec, it changes the letter from lower case to upper case. Very very simple, and quite usable. Nice to only have 1 keystroke instead of two.

(Me thinks an enterprising developer could make a nice suite of keyboard preferences and do some brisk business....anyone?)
