Dear users of OS/2: I've reported some days ago that the 
undocumented switch /NUMLOCK enables the number pad with 
the newest ibmkbd.sys (ver. 10.011) available at the os/2 
driver pack. This message contains two errors.

1. the switch must be /NUMON, the other undocumented 
switches are /NONE and /NUMOFF. Posting this message the 
/NUMON turned falsly to /NUMLOCK I apologize for this 
error.

2. as this switch worked with my rather old (14 Years) 
keyboard I falsly thougt that it then should work with 
every keyboard and not only with some. Kovacs Istvan has 
mailed me some time ago that some hungarian users had told 
him that the switch /NUMON works with some older ibmkbd.sys 
drivers and some codepages but there is no rule if it works 
or not. With my old ibmkbd.sys out of the fixpaks the 
switch didn't work, but when I've downloaded the new 
ibmkeyb.exe and installed it my numlock led began to glow 
green during boot and stayed on, also the numberkeys are 
working. Looking into the new ibmkbd.sys I've found the 
mentioned switches, so I falsly thought that IBM has build 
in a general support for numlock via the /NUMON switch.

Sorry for my error, the rumour and the troubles you've  
might had.
