I found this document: 
http://tiny-tools.sourceforge.net/emacs-keys.html

it said somewhere:

* Keys can be written by their ASCII code, 
using a backslash followed by up to six 
octal digits. This is the only way to 
represent keys with codes above \377.

So I looked at this ascii table:
http://web.cs.mun.ca/~michael/c/ascii-table.html

and removed the zero's out of the octal notation
(57 <- 0057) of the '/'-character (as it didn't 
work with the zero's in it: this gave me the
'7'-character).

And now the '/'-key on the 
numeric keypad produces a '/'
as I wanted.

So now for every button (/, *, -, +, Enter)
there is an isolated line of the type:

(global-set-key (kbd "\eOo") "\57")

in .emacs

I don't understand fully what I did
and doubt I ever will, but it seemed to work.

Cheers,

Tobias
