I know this is already answered, but I was quite astonished about the responses... CONFIG.SYS NUMLOCK=ON,OFF is supported since Novell DOS 7 (and documented as far as I know), and in addition to this, DR-OpenDOS 7.02+ introduced SCROLLOCK=ON,OFF and CAPSLOCK=ON,OFF (or was it SHIFTLOCK??? ;-). Comprehensive descriptions on these and many other new CONFIG.SYS directives not (or not fully) documented in DOSBOOK can be found in the README.TXT from IBMBIOA3.ZIP (my otherwise outdated OpenDOS 7.02 ALPHA kernel, which has been the base for the later DR-OpenDOS 7.02 & DR-DOS 7.02-7.03), and in NWDOSTIP.TXT (MPDOSTIP.ZIP), both freely available from my web-page (see signature).
