    You mean so you don't have to "push" the NumLock key when you login,
    like when you power on your peecee, right?

    Nope, there is no way to do this. It drives me nuts, I bug my buddy
    at Sun about it all the time too. Best idea we came up with was to
    wait after logging out for the login screen to appear and then push
    the NumLock before you leave for the day, then it is already set for
    the next day...just have to remember to do it.
