Detecting the Num lock key in Windows

[STKing42 at aol.com]

Thanks for the explanantion Ken.

Shame about this as the Numlock state can be quite important for laptop apps. 
Maybe the RunRev guys may like to think about it.

In the meantime, I think I'll just go for an answer box and let the user 
check!

Thanks for the help.

Steve
