I've just installed the latest release (22.0.50 from 16/6/2006) and  
found that my keymappings to the number keypad no longer work.
Using
(global-set-key (quote [kp-4]) 'beginning-of-line)
numeric-keypad 4 would call beginning-of-line

but now it just types '4'

^h v 4 tells me that
4 runs the command self-insert-command
    which is an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.
It is bound to many ordinary text characters.
(self-insert-command n)


So it seems that this latest build of emacs does not distinguish  
between the numeric-keypad keys and their main-keyboard equivalent  
(with the exception of 'kp-enter').
Another quirk I notice is that the key above the keypad-7 (sorry I do  
not know what it is called, it is a rectable with a cross over it)  
appears to send ^l

I'm very dependent upon mapping these keys, is this a feature or a bug?

Yours sincerely

Nadeem
