Thanks Wilm,

I retried the with the modifier you use and confirmed I do not end up with a 
keypad that I could use for an editor like EDT.  I am not sure what the 
difference is.

For example, when running DECW$UTILS:XEV, pressing the Num Lock key should 
give me a symbol of KP_F1, but I get the Num_Lock symbol.

I'll have to give it some more thought.
