That did it. Now I feel like an old heal not having read the first question in the faq. But upon reading the faq, particularly your Trivia comment, I don't feel so bad. Here's my attempt at solving the problem: I thought at first to have the binary ignore the locks by default requiring a command to turn them off but since it apparently creates added load that sounds like its not an option. Perhaps they could be ignored in some other manner. Duplicating (I suppose this could be trippling, quadrupling etc) bindings for a binding with NumLock on and off etc. I don't know enough about how it works (It suprised me to read that the Ignore modifiers command added network traffic) to give a good answer but it has to be do able. The problem isn't there with enlightnement. Thanks for helping me out. --Dave
