Re**3 Get Numlock Status

I've looked into a bit further... The event is available to usermode apps as showkey detects it (I get keycode 69), however I was unable to getch() it. It may be terminal specific, and you might have better luck searching the web for relevant information than I did.

Thanks for the help! After some more searching and taking a look at the showkey sources, I was able to recreate most of the functionality of showkey in Perl (at least enough to capture numlock presses). I've posted an example program here in case anyone else is interested.	[reply]
