We've had problems with Mavis Beacon freezing if the students don't pass
the last elementary quiz.  It comes after the poem about Sailor's
Delight.  What you have to do is press CTRL+ALT+DEL and then END
TASK.  Open Mavis up again and go back into their file.  Before pressing
START LESSON, press the back arrow and then START LESSON and it will take
them back to this quiz.  It shouldn't freeze up after that.
I don't know about the number pad.  We haven't done that.

Hopes this helps!
