tlug: num-lock

[Michael Casinghino <michael@example.com>]

I have been having a strange problem with fvwm2 (pine?), and it took me a
little while to figure this out but...

When I have the num-lock on, the ctrl-arrow functions don't work--usually
they scoll one page in the desktop.  (I have a 3x2 desktop, and if I'm in
1,2 and hit ctrl-left, I move to 1,1.)

Also, when I *don't* have the num-lock on, I can't cut and paste in pine. 
So, when I want to cut from pine and move to another desktop page and
paste, I must hit num-lock(on), hightlight region, hit num-lock(off),
ctrl-arrow, middle-button.  I would like to fix this.

Why does this happen?  What does the num-lock do?
