The above is quite correct, that the scroll lock is esentialy a shift state
key.  (Unlike another posting that was getting break and ctrl-num/hold 
mixed in)

I do not have my manuals handy, but the tandy-1000 does have some strange
key-combo that will emulate the scroll lock key, setting the proper
bit at 40:17hex.  If you can't find it in you manual, mail me a note
and i'll look it up.
