I saw it before, there was just no reply

)compute on the fly rather than by table look-up) which scan codes
)will come from the keypad and which ones come from the main keyboard?

No.

)I understand that RAWKEY events have a KEYMAP bit,

Actually, the keys on the numeric pad new for the 500/2000, i.e.  ()/*+
don't even have this NUMERICPAD bit set.  (They will for 1.4, but that's
a small consolation)

Solution: hard code it (shudder!).
