KP has always stood for KeyPad. "A keypad is a set of buttons arranged in a block or "pad" which bear digits, symbols or alphabetical letters" -Wikipedia. The numbers that are in a group to the right of the keyboard. And BTW, the ones that control the ASW have stopped working altogether...;) So, whether you say, "Numpad" or "Keypad," they are the same thing...You're confusing KP which is KeyPad for Number Keys which are the row of numbers above the keyboard...
