Pet bind help

So I've decided to roll my first mastermind, and I eventually decided on a Demons/Thermal build. I looked around for help on pet control and binds, and I found this guide in the Mastermind guide section: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=117256

Now here's the problem. I'm using a laptop to play, so there isn't a numpad, just a row of numbers above the lettered keys. The guide assigned binds to numpad keys, such as "numpad1" and so forth. I made the files and loaded them in game, and got a message saying they were successfully loaded. However, the number keys on my laptop still fire powers in the tray instead of controlling my pets. Does anyone know how I can edit the files so that the binds are assigned to the numbered keys on my laptop?

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you want to assign the binds to the number keys, just drop 'numpad' from the bind and use the numerals '1', '2', etc.

The keys will no longer fire the powers in your powertrays. If that is okay with you then go ahead. However, many players use the number keys for their powers.

You can also assign the binds to a different layout of keys on the regular keyboard as discussed in the guide. They're called 'numpad binds' simply because the layout of the numpad was perfect, as well as underused. There is no reason the actual numpad has to be used; it's more a system for commanding pets than a specific assignment of keys.
