Re: lynx-dev Lynx32 Keymap Question

[Janina Sajka]

I'm still trying to get Lynx32 to ignore the numeric keypad -- with
numlock on. The author of my speech app has built a utility into the
program that returns scan codes. Very cool. Using this feature, I get the
following values for my lynx.cfg:

KEYMAP:5230:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:4F31:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:5032:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:5133:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:4B34:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:0635:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:4D36:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:0837:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:0938:DO_NOTHING
KEYMAP:4939:DO_NOTHING

These are for the numeric keypad's 0 through 9 respectively.
Unfortunately, this only makes things worse because it crashes Lynx32
which puts up an error message and returns to C:>

So, I'm fresh out of ideas, again!
