OK not sure if it will work but if you connect a keyboard up as well as the keypad then it should. What you will do is open keygrabber and double click on the first box and press the key you wish to use on your keypad, it should accept that, you then double click on the box to the right and choose the Shift option from the special keys button.
Then when you shut keygrabber you will be asked to save the grab file
Now next thing you need to do is change the target of your Mach icon so that it looks at keygrabber first and opens it then loads Mach, that way keygrabber will always be opened when you start Mach. What you will need to put in the target is
C:\Mach3\KeyGrabber.exe /p Mach3Mill
note the spaces between .exe and /p and also a space between /p and Mach3Mill
Oh BTW to change the target right click on your desktop icon that you use to start Mach and choose properties and then change the target address.
