I had the (likely dumb) impression that toggling the X video display worked off
keypad +/-, not just plain +/-.  I would be really happy to have been confused
about this.  

If I'm not confused, how/where does one configure the key bindings to use plain
old +/- instead of keypad +/-.  Alternatively, how does one configure (and
toggle) the keyboard to use the overlaid keypad?  Can Fn+F7 (my TP is a 760ED
(9546 U3A), so I don't know if that's the key sequence on other models) which
supposedly toggles the display in DOS be used?
