BUG: CTRL+NUM/ May Be Read as CTRL+/ in MS-DOS with NUM LOCK On (66740)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS 1.0
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS 1.1
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2 1.0
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2 1.1
This article was previously published under Q66740 SYMPTOMS
In the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) versions 1.0 and 1.1, the
CTRL+NUM/ (CTRL+/ on the numeric keypad) and ALT+NUM/ (ALT+/ on the
numeric keypad) combinations may be interpreted as CTRL+/ and ALT+/
(on the main keyboard). This problem happens only in DOS or in the DOS
3.x box of OS/2, and only on certain computers. This behavior will
cause any macro or function assigned to CTRL+NUM/ or ALT+NUM/ to not
execute when NUM LOCK is on.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB version 1.0 and
1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
