To turn off the numlock and select the cursor control keys, do the following:

         POKE 1047, PEEK(1047) AND 223

To turn on the numlock and select the numeric key pad do the following:

         POKE 1047, PEEK(1047) AND 32

To find out what the current state of the numlock is, do the following:

         PEEK(1047) AND 32

This will return a 0 for cursor control active and a 32 for
numeric control active!

Hope this helps you!
