    First, I think VLT is the best PD VT emulator, but I've always had
    one gripe with it, that I hope theres a solution to; and that is
    the Top 4 keys on the keypad only send the PF1-PF4 escape codes when
    the keypad mode is set to application (not numeric), instead they send
    just the ()*/ stuff, this causes greif in some applications that need
    these keys, but still need the keypad in numeric mode. 
    
    Sometimes you can get by with the pulldown that sets the keypad to
    application, but some applications key turning it back to numeric.

    Any solutions?
