3122.0. "keypad toggles to numeric using GPC" by OASS::GREEN_W (WENDY GREEN) Mon Aug 09 1993 17:29

    I did a directory of this conference using keyword=gpc and
    keyword=notes, but I did not find this problem mentioned anywhere.  If
    I have missed it, please direct me to the correct topic.
    
    In ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1, with my default document editor set to WPSPLUS, I
    have changed the editor under GPC to be EVE_EDT.
    
    If I type in a reply, and try to use the keypad-0 key to exit, it 
    responds like it would in the EDT editor and moves me down a line.  
    If I use the GOLD-F to exit, I am returned to the GPC menu (after 
    entering the note into the conference) and the keypad keys work like 
    they are supposed, ie. they are still in application mode.
    
    If I reply to a note, and simply GOLD-GET another note as the reply,
    then GOLD-F this reply, again I am returned to the GPC menu, but this
    time my keypad has toggled to numeric mode.  Also, when the note is
    being brought into the editor, I see a message on the bottom of the
    screen indicating that the file is being converted from ASCII to
    WPSPLUS.
    
    What is the reason for the difference in behavior, and is there
    anything I can do to fix it?
    
    Thanks,

    Well I don't have the problem of the keys going into numeric mode.
    
    I do see the conversion messages to WPS-PLUS though, perhaps we should
    look at that. Please SPR it.
