As far as I've been able to determine, MS-Kermit 2.30 maps all scan-code-
producing keys and Ctrl-Break (or does that?).  Supposedly 2.29 DID map NumLock
and ScrollLock; too bad we don't have a choice.

You can get the Shift-Keypad-5, though, aka the "Keypad-5 while NumLock is
on".  And there are programs (I do not have them, anyone?) that will allow
you to programmatically set these lock-keys "on" and "off".  I seem to
remember seeing several in PC Magazine back in 84 or 85.

I've just recently run through several PC terminal emulators during the
past few weeks.  If you're interested, I can mail or post if enough interest.
Suffice it to say, I started with Relay Gold 2.0, then tried out Procomm 2.x
(the one with only 10 keys definable, newer version is out but not to me yet),
then Kermit 2.30, then PIBTERM, then back to Kermit, using RELAY for some
file transfers (most often faster when I use it on VM).
