MouseKeys is an
accessibility feature designed for people who have difficulty
using a mouse. MouseKeys allows you to use the numeric keypad to
control the movement of the mouse pointer. If you want to use
the numeric keypad for data entry as well as for navigation, you
can set MouseKeys to be activated by pressing NUM LOCK. This
procedure tells you how to turn on MouseKeys through
