Hi Lorie,

This is a tough one, and I’m not sure there’s a way to have the Numpad keys 
behave exactly like the right-arrow key. I’ve done some experimenting, even 
found something on the Apple site that talks about it, but it seems like the 
only thing you can make those keys do is move the mouse pointer, not the 
regular cursor. Check this link out:

Perhaps someone else on the list may have an idea.
