------------------|-----------------|--------------------------|
If I type this on | C-h l gives the | C-h c gives:             |
the numeric keypad| sequence:       |                          |
------------------|---------------------------------------------
         /        |  ESC O o        |<kp-divide> is undefined  |
         *        |  ESC O j        |<kp-multiply> is undefined|
         -        |  ESC O m        |<kp-add> is undefined     |
         +        |  ESC O k        |<kp-subtract> is undefined|
         Enter    |  ESC O M        |<kp-enter> is undefined   |

After having put this:

(add-hook 'term-setup-hook
(lambda()
(global-set-key (kbd "<kp-divide") 'forward-char)))

in .emacs, the following results:

C-h k <kp-divide>      ESC O o is undefined
<kp-divide> C-h l      ESC O o

This is exactly the same when I put
the single line:
(global-set-key (kbd "<kp-divide>") 'forward-char)

in .emacs


Is my answer detailed enough for you
to understand where my problem is (was) ?

Thanks again for your answer,
