Summary	06179: Num Lock key does not work
Description	Num Lock key does nothing, in any case it is the default key assignment in MAME. For example, in the ZX Spectrum128 machine it is assigned by default as the BREAK key, which does not function.
Steps To Reproduce	Run ZX Spectrum 128 machine, select Tape Loader and press Num Lock to BREAK. Nothing happens.
Additional Information	If you try to reassign the Num Lock key, it is assigned as "Kbd Pause". On the other hand, the Pause Break key is assigned as "Kbd Ctrl Kbd Pause". Tested on Windows 10 64-bit using a Razer Black Widow Ultimate keyboard
