Thank you for your answers to my problem. With these, I have finally found a solution. In fact, the problem is that 'NumLock' key is a modifier key in Mathematica Unix/Linux (I think that it's very troublesome and perhaps some Mathematica developpers could change this fact in futur version). Anyway, with some command line options of Mathematica program (see them by typing "Mathematica --help"), I am able now to modify this trouble. It's simple. Instead of usual 'Mathematica' command, just type (under 4.0): "Mathematica -primaryModifierMask Mod1Mask -secondaryModifierMask Mod3Mask" Be careful that this 'Mathematica' is in fact the binary program and not a shell script which calls it. In this case, modify the call of binary program inside the script. Thank you for your indications which help me to find a solution. Laurent. -- Laurent JACQUES (Doctorant F.R.I.A.)
