Then it's like the VT100 keyboard. What I'm questioning is the existence of a
NumLock key on a VT220 keyboard (LK201). In the VT220 Programmer Reference
Manual found at http://vt100.net/docs/vt220-rm/ there is no mention of such a
key. According to the same manual the keypad mode is set by the application
following DECKPAM/DECKPNM like a VT100 keyboard. Are you sure that a true
VT220 keyboard has a NumLock key or it's just a thing of an IBM-PC terminal
emulator?

Maybe I'm one of those people who don't know what they're talking about but I
still prefer slang, espacially because it's display is faster and because
lynx/slang is a little smaller than lynx/ncurses. I was using ncurses mainly
because it doesn't underline with colors 4 and 5 but now that the problem was
corrected in (my) lynx/slang I'll use it less. Anyway, I'll keep compiling
lynx with ncurses for testing purposes.
