	Scroll Lock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scroll Lock is a key (with an associated status light) on most modern desktop computer keyboards.
		When the scroll lock mode was on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window.
		In this sense, Scroll Lock serves a similar purpose to Num Lock and Caps Lock: it enables a secondary function of a group of keys.

	Num lock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Num Lock is a key on the numeric keypad of most keyboards, used to switch that pad between number entry and arrow keys.
		The Num Lock key exists because earlier 84-key IBM PC keyboards did not have arrows separate from the numeric keypad.
		When a computer's operating system crashes or hangs the Num Lock key is usually the only key that responds to being pressed.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: What's the "Scroll Lock" key on my computer for? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Scroll Lock key has appeared on the keyboards of IBM personal computers since the original 83-key PC/XT and the 84-key AT layouts, and remains on the 101-key and greater "enhanced" keyboards currently in use.
		The main intent of the Scroll Lock key was to allow scrolling of screen text up, down and presumably sideways using the arrow keys in the days before large displays and graphical scroll bars.
		In Microsoft Excel, Scroll Lock allows you to scroll a spreadsheet with the arrow keys without moving the active cell pointer from the currently highlighted cell.

	ANSIPLUS Change History, Release 4
		Bug fix: Scrolling of subscreen regions in a window under Windows 95 or 3.1 did not scroll the correct region of the screen, at least using some video drivers.
		Bug fix: 286 systems using ANSIPLUS 4.01 would lock up when trying to scroll the screen because the test for a 286 vs. 386 CPU was failing, and the driver tried to use 32-bit block moves for screen scrolling.
		Bug fix: With Scroll Lock on and ANSIPLUS controlling the mouse, the ANSIPLUS Int 33h routine was returning the incorrect button status information to the running program in register AL for Int 33h functions 0005h and 0006h (get button press/release information).

	The Old Joel on Software Forum - A keyboard curious question
		I believe Scroll Lock was used in the old days of DOS when you could pause a scrolling eg directory list which would ordinarily scroll straight past you on the screen, and if it was long you wouldn't be able to read it all.
		As someone else said, scroll lock is used in many apps such as Excel to scroll the whole window with the arrow keys instead of just moving the cursor location.
		Otherwise, to scroll the window with the keyboard you'd first have to move the cursor all the way to the edge and only then would further presses scroll the window.

	Send scroll lock (break?) to KVM switch - The macosxhints Forums
		It works when I hit scroll lock twice in less than two seconds going from the PC to the Mac, but not the other way.
