18 It's not clear from this post what problem you're having. I do
19 know, however, that with Win4LinPro (not Win4Lin), there is a bug
20 with UK keyboards when emulating W2K where the numlock action is
21 reversed. US keyboards work OK.

23 I know this because I reported it. It's annoyingly still there
24 after several official and test releases. You'll just have to wait
25 for Win4Lin, Inc. to come up with a fix (if that really is your
26 problem).
