num lock?

[brianutah]

Hi all,
I've got the 1030nr model. Nice computer, small, light, good keyboard.

Perhaps I'm blind, but I can't find the "num lock" key. I couldn't google anything either. I don't know if many of you have a use for this, but on my old laptop (and desktop) this is useful for inserting special characters, i.e for the degree symbol, use "num lock" alt 248. On a desktop keyboard you use the number keypad and alt. key. On my old laptop, "num lock" turns some of the letter keys which are specially marked, into the number keypad.

I guess I can use the 'character map' program, but us keyboard folks like to keep our fingers on the keyboard.

Has anyone found a solution?

Brian

It is the Scroll key, top row third from right.

Fn + Scroll
