I'm not sure what the "clear" key does, though a quick Google search
shows:

http://www.google.com/search?q=os+x+clear+key&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

The link doesn't work well for me, but the Google summary of the first
result includes:

"The Clear key, of course, acts like the clear key on a calculator..."

In other words, whatever it is supposed to do, it is NOT supposed to act
like a numlock. I would argue that in this case, we should only allow
the directional mode for users sophisticated enough to go searching for
it -- remember, there is no visual indication that numlock is on or off,
and the functions it performs (other than numbers) are not visible
anywhere on the keyboard.

So any new user who happens to press the "clear" key will now think
something along the lines of "My computer is broken!"

Having the option of directional arrows is nice, but for this keyboard,
leave it off by default.
