- How about this:
-
- * SET NOKEYPAD
- * CHANGE
-
- This gets you full-screen NOKEYPAD mode. After an "I" insert command, you
- can use the numeric keypad to your heart's content. Arrow keys will not
- work, but the Nokeypad subcommands are all there.
-
- I suppose you could use EVE, but where's the fun in that? 8-)
