The PCjr doesn't have a numeric keypad but does have dedicated cursor keys. A visual comparison can be found here : http://www.brutman.com/PCjr/pcjr_keyboard_diff.html The PCjr cursor keys correspond to and give the same raw scancodes as the 2, 4, 6, 8 keys on a PC Keyboard Numeric keypad. When you press the key combination for Num Lock on the PCjr. keyboard, you will get numbers instead of cursor movement.
On 0.74, the default startup behavior - the Num Lock is off and the cursor keys act like cursor keys.
On current SVN, the default startup behavior - the Num Lock is on and the cursor keys act like number keys
0.74 is the closest to real hardware in my opinion. When you turn the PCjr. on, it defaults to the cursor key function. Was there a particular reason for the change?
