If NUM LOCK is on in the QB.EXE editor, pressing SHIFT+DEL, CTRL+INS,
or SHIFT+INS does not Cut, Copy, or Paste when pressed on the numeric
keypad. NUM LOCK must be off for these "quick keys" to work on the
numeric keypad; when you turn on NUM LOCK, the numbers become active
on the keypad instead of INS and DEL.
The NUM LOCK status does not affect the dedicated, INS and DEL keys on
the IBM extended keyboard (which are usually colored gray to show
their unique function). Use these dedicated keys if you have an
extended keyboard and wish to be independent of the NUM LOCK status.
