A curses time clock application that relies on keypad entry for numeric employee IDs, dates, and times worked fine with Windows XP. With Windows 7 every numeric keypad entry acts like an escape key and causes the application to exit and return up a level in the menu hierarchy. Mouse Keys is not enabled and the key strokes to enable Mouse Keys is also disabled.

Is there any other setting that will allow the numeric keypad to function in Windows 7 same as in Windows XP (as a numeric keypad).
 
Solution
The solution is to modify the KEYBOARD.CNF file and place that in the Teraterm folder so the emulator knows how to respond to the numeric keypad keys. This has been done. The application now behaves as desired regardless of Windows XP or 7.
