Hi,
Main problem is, that if I hat a turned on num-lock and try it with FN key
write something, it'll write only mumeric numbers and I must turned off,
but I can't use the FN as a Jf cursor etc.
Hem, but this i s a company notebook :D.

It looks like that's the case Ed, that thinkpads don't support this.  when
I
googled t60 and fn key, below is a link for a document which describes what
you can do with the t60 and it's fn key.  there is one combo which turns
on/off the numeric keypad, and you might see if turning it on makes fn plus
the letters give you numeric keypad keys or not.

also, one trick I used to do, using fn plus f7 you can redirect your
display
to be external only, thus helping conserve battery power.  or you can just
dim it way down using the fn key.

I think the WE laptop layout is really inferior to other screen readers,
and
as Raul says, this lack of functionality on the part of the T60 would be a
deal-breaker for me as well.

hth,

Chip

Subject: Function Key and Laptop Mode

All:
I think I may have missed something.  I tried to pick up on the posts that
suggested one not actually switch to a laptop keyboard layout, but rather,
just use the function key, in combination with the "U, I, and O"
keys as the equivalent of "4, 5, and 6" on the numeric key pad.  I even
read
where the key describer would help identify the functions of this
alternative numeric key pad.  Unfortunately, on my ThinkPad T-60, pressing
the function key (bottom left of the keyboard) in combination with the
above-listed keys produces absolutely nothing.  Nothing happens whether in
the key describer or not.
Is it possible that, on the ThinkPad, this little trick doesn't work?
