Hallo Herman If you have a laptop with Windows 10, hold down the function key, which is often marked in lower case fn with a square around the two letters, and then press the number lock key marked numlk You can then use part of the keyboatd as a number pad. 7, 8, 9 will be as before, 4 and 5 and 6 will be U and I and O, 1 and 2 will be J and K, and M will be zero. To get Aries, hold down alt and type 9800. Then, to release numlock, hold down function and press numlock. A separate number pad with a USB connection can be useful when you are entering numbers frequently; otherwise, do as above. The alt codes are very useful. Cheers John
