[jawsscripts] Simulating numpad keystrokes when numlock is on.

Hi,
I have an application where certain actions require pressing numpad keys
when numlock is turned on. For instance, when pressing the numpad right
arrow, the app will do one thing with numlock on, and a different thing with
numlock off. I need to execute actions initiated by numpad keystrokes when
numlock is on.
I understand that JAWS scripts can't be attached to numpad keys with Numlock
turned on. But is there any way for JAWS to pass to an application, a numpad
keystroke when Numlock is turned on?
With numlock turned on, using for instance, TypeKey ("RightArrow"), or
TypeKey ("77"), or {rightArrow}, fails to initiate the apps numlock off
action.
Unfortunately, in JAWS KeyPressedEvent, the keycodes and names of the numpad
keys are identical, whether NumLock is on or off. For instance with numlock
off or on, after pressing numpad 6, the strKeyName=RightArrow, and nKey=77.
Nevertheless, my question remains, is there anyway for JAWS to simulate a
numpad keystroke when Numlock is turned on?
Thanks in advance,
David Pinto
