I like to use edit so that I don't have to leave my DOS
window when coding. When I move the cursor in the window
no matter what it is selecting text or spaces. I am not
sure what is wrong. I have even tried holding the shift
button to see if the effect would reverse so at least I
could get some functionality back, but it did not work.
I know this is not a critical program, but it is
important to me and my productivity. Thanks in advance.

Quick Edit was unchecked already and Select Command
Prompt-edit was not applicable. It is still selecting
even with those two possibilities checked off.
 
It was the Num Lock on my Microsoft Natural Multimedia
Keyboard. It could be any Num Lock key, but I wanted to
be specific because this is not exactly a standard
keyboard from a hardware point of view. I will try my
old keyboard to see if it does the same thing and I will
post the results.
