    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E420 which does not have the numeric keys or a num lock. I need to use the numeric "+" and "-" keys for a game very occasionally and am unable to do so. Any ideas how to do this? I just need to do this once in a while so even if there's a not so convenient way that's fine. I don't wish to buy an external number pad just to use + and - keys.

    Thanks a lot everybody. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
