I am having problems with Mathematica and the number pad on our Sun Sparc 20 (Solaris 2.5) type 5 keyboard. While attempting to input numbers with the number pad on the keyboard, the inputting of the numbers 2,4,6,8 causes the cursor to jump around the screen. Obviously these keys are being recognized as directional movements for the cursor on the screen. If the problem did not only happen on Mathematica, than I would have said that the keys had been programmed for directional movements, but since it is only a Mathematica problem, the problem lies there in. The good people at Wolfram technical assistance said there is a problem with my keyboard mapping. Since I cannot find any reference in any Mathematica manual to keyboard mapping, I ask if any body is familiar with this problem. Again I must stress, that the problem does not exist out side the Mathematica environment. Rui Batista rbatista at goldcompass
