I'm curious. Does the windows 32 api keybd_event and GetKeyState work?

DECLARE keybd_event IN user32;
    SHORT bVk,;
    SHORT bScan,;
    INTEGER dwFlags,;
    INTEGER dwExtraInfo
 
#DEFINE  VK_NUMLOCK  144
 
IF ! NUMLOCK()
     = keybd_event(VK_NUMLOCK, 0, 2, 0)
     = keybd_event(VK_NUMLOCK, 0, 0, 0)
ENDIF

I'm also curious about the USB numeric keypad. Isn't it always on?
