If Force Num Lock On is set in TinyTERM, some laptop keyboards will behave erratically. Other laptops ignore the setting. Typing on those works normally.

The problem stems from the dual nature of the typical laptop number pad. It tends to be a secondary function of the main keyboard, rather than a keypad of its own. With the laptop’s Num Lock off but the TinyTERM setting on, the function of any of the dual keys is not always predictable.
