[Info-vax] OT: Keypad picture wanted

All,

Someone has got to have a better free-to-use picture of a DEC keyboard numeric keypad than this.

I tried to crop down the keyboard image I had in my original DEC application developer book but it wasn't close enough for the keypad portion to yield a clear image. I don't have another VT keyboard laying around here or I would just take the picture myself. Would like to add a clear one in the help text.

Oh, in kicking the tires on CopperSpice (a Qt fork) I opted to add themes and EDT keypad support. It's not in the main repo because I'm not close enough to done for a pull request. I do periodically check stuff into my fork of it though.

After using Emacs for a book and a half and the "almost" EDT keypad emulation (can't map NumLock to gold unless you hack the terminal definition) I decided to take the plunge on Diamond. I wanted to really try CopperSpice coding and this was a big thing someone did as an experiment for it.

Anyway, since script kiddies can't imagine anything that isn't a PC or Apple keyboard, I was looking for a good free-to-use keypad only close-up.

Feel free to send it off-line.
