Caps Lock	When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters are typed in uppercase.
Num Lock	When Num Lock is on, the right hand side numeric keypad is in
<Fn> + <F11>	numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator (complete with the
	arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). When Num Lock is off, the keys
	assume cursor and other shortcut functions.
Scroll Lock	When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when
<Fn> + <F12>	you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. scroll Lock does not
	work with some applications.
