I just compared an LK-461 to a full-sized Apple keyboard.  The Apple has
a separate ESC key (not doubled up with `~ like the LK) and the LK-461
has F20, which the Apple does not.  The LK-461 also has a separate key
for "< >" as well as being the shift of "," and ".". Other than that the
number of keys is identical.  The number and layout of the keypad and
navigation keys are identical, though the Apple has a bit more space
between the arrow keys and the other navigation keys.  The DEC keypad
definitely does not have more keys than the Apple keypad.

Making all those keys send the codes that VMS will recognize is between
you and your terminal emulator.
