Num lock on Apple keyboard

This is a silly question, but on the Apple USB keyboard...the extended one with the numeric keypad on the right hand side, how does one activate the "Num" lock? I have tried all sorts of "funtion" and "shift" type keys, and their combinations but I just cannot get the thing to lock on.

Thank you all for your patience with this question.

If you're using Mac OS 9 or earlier, check whether there's a flag at the right end of your menu bar; if so, click it and select the correct keyboard layout from the menu that appears. If not, open the Keyboard control panel and turn on the correct keyboard layout.

In Mac OS X, you can change the active and current keyboard layouts from the Input Menu section of the International pane of System Preferences; as with Mac OS 9, you can change the active keyboard layout from the menu with the flag icon if it appears.
