Thanks, Roger & RD ! With your help, think I got it g.

For my m/c (IBM), I had to press Shift + ScrLk to toggle
(the tiny "Numlk" appears above "ScrLk" in white)

And the numeric* keypad numbers appear in white too (no color),
albeit in "subscript" form.

*as explained in Roger's response:
.. M as 0, JKL as 123, UIO as 456 with
the number keys 789 being 789.

Cheers
