Thank you for the suggestion. None of the three methods Perplexity 
showed worked. It's a small problem. The keyboard I use for the raspi is 
a Logitech K 360 without LED's to show the state of Numlock, CapsLock...

I tried some time ago to make Perplexity write some code for a camera. 
It looked alright, but did not work because it used a deprecated 
library. Maybe the same is the case with the suggestions for setting 
NumLock, that the system has been updated since Perplexity got its info.

I have sometimes been hunting for ways to accomplish other simple things 
on a raspberry, things that are very easy fixed in Windows. But it can 
take many tries before you find a solution that actually works for a pi.

Best regards
