As I understand key events on the Apollo, this cannot be done on a pre-SR10.1
node.  SR10.1 with the Domain Shared-X product installed gives you access to
these events (numeric keypad keys distinct from number keys) but you'll have
to write some special event interface stuff to access it.  10.2 should have
more general access and document that access.  Your best bet is to contact 
your local Apollo support people (not the hotline).

This is my first posting; please accept my apology for any etiquette errors.
