[AL] [WIN]Keypad numerics

[Gillius <gi...@we...>]

I've noticed that you can only input numbers into an Allegro GUI by using 
the top-row numbers, and the numeric keypad is always intepreted through 
its cursor keys usage, regardless of numlock.  This has been a minor 
annoyance for me for some time as the Allegro programs I use occasionaly 
use numbers, as well as my latest game (for IP address, port number, and 
custom bandwith specs).

This behavior has been observed in all Allegro GUIs, including other 
applications and the Allegro applications.

I use the DirectX port of Allegro under the MSVC6 compiler.

This is weird though. Does the same thing happen with non Allegro fullscreen
apps ?
