My Dell has small colored numbers on the letter keys, matching Roger's
scenario, where all that's necessary is to hold the Fn key (right of the
left Ctrl key) and the Alt key, and then use those colored numbers.

Hi Max

You should have a button marked Fn and the word Numlock in coloured type
at the base of a key somewhere.
Press both, and it should activate M as 0, JKL as 123, UIO as 456 with
the number keys 789 being 789.

A little "OT", sorry ..

Am trying out Dave's suggestion, but think I've forgotten
how to activate/deactivate the numeric keypad on a laptop

Thanks ..
