This is precisely why I haven't quite managed to like asap, jaws, etc,
because I'm using artic and business vision on my computers, and although
you can use the number pad for review functions (without going into review
mode) I much prefer to use the extended cursor keys.  That way, my number
pad is still fre for those applications that require it.  I've always used
it as such, (since I moved to a 101-key keyboard anyway) and I find it
works considerably better than asap requiring the number pad for their
review functions.  I personally think it's a lot easier to just hit the
numlock to get arrows or numbers, based on what I want than it is to keep
switching from one set of keys to the other depending on what I want.
