Feature request, feature request!! It seems rather unbelievable to me (but I do believe it) that this was not implemented long ago. It's not rocket science to query hardware/device drivers to determine specific hardware present. I don't think, for instance, that I've ever seen a Num Lock key on any keyboard that does not have a number pad as part of it. I can only imagine what it must be like to have a fresh installation of JAWS on a non-number-pad laptop and starting out with it if no one you have access to who knows anything about JAWS can be reached and you don't know it's presuming a desktop keyboard layout (or anything about the fact that there *are* keyboard layouts as a concept). I envision bits of plastic and keys scattered about like so many Scrabble tiles within a few short minutes after the computer is hurled across the room with all available strength! Brian
