There's a magic key sequence that turns the keypad into a keypad, instead 
of a bunch of control keys. I think it's shift-num lock or command-num 
lock. When you find it, it displays a '#" in the status line at the bottom 
of the screen. After you've set the keypad the way it should be, save your 
settings in the Environment submenu in the File menu. This effects only 
the main window of any file; if you open a "text box" (sidebar), you'll 
have to enter the magic sequence again to make the keypad into a keypad 
within the sidebar.

Where did you hear that? According to MacWeek (1/22, page 6), they're 
charging $89 for upgrades from version 1.0.x.
