Re: Orca on my laptop

["Joanmarie Diggs" <j-diggs comcast net>]

Hi Cody.  On my laptop I am able to do as Mike suggests and use the FN key
to get numpad functionality.  I also have a USB numpad which works quite
nicely with Orca.  It cost me around $10, and I picked it up at my local
office supply store.   

Take care.
Joanie

On most laptops using the FN key in combination with the letter keys on the
right hand. side should give you the numpad functionality.  I don't know how
this works on all laptops but this is what several of us are doing. 
Hope this helps. 
Mike
