I knew it would be something simple! OK I will check it out next
time I fire up.

[Why would anyone want to lock a number pad... as distinct from
any other set of keys? Please don't answer this. It might dawn on
me. What a delicious puzzle! I could take to this type of lock,
just as there are Silly Walks, there could be Silly Keyboards
(space bar locked... why hell even sillier: no spacebar at all)

At the moment I can't go on about this because I am busy with
trying to find out why a mailto on a webpage of mine in a footer
is behaving oddly re font-size, there is something peculiar about
mailto links and font-sizes and inheritance in different browsers
that I do not understand. Fancy something like this holding up
the launching of a new home page...]
