WAHOO! I solved it.

Windows Vista directed me to a help site where an administrator had posted a comment. It gave step by step instructions on how to edit the registry to toggle the Ins/NumbersLk key on. Basically, you program the registry to start number lock when the computer starts. To clear the ships dials to man the anti aircraft gun, all I have to do is hit the NumLk and delete keys.

When not playing TMO1.9, I have to turn off NumLk by holding down the Fn key and NumLk key for five seconds. If I don't do this certain keys on my keyboard produce numbers rather than letters, etc. I can live with this solution for now.

Later I will try turning off the NumLk key at start up by entering the appropriate registry value entry. Once I make registry change, NumLk will revert to its normal mode and will not start by default when the computer starts. Then I will try toggling it on when playing the game. For now, NumLk is activate on start up by default, and I will have to remember to toggle it off when not playing TMO.

Did that make any sense?

I deserve a medal! Thanks for all of your suggestions!
