It should be possible. As far as I recall, you should use public boolean
action(Event evt, Object obj). This method receives the <return> key
presses. In the method you then have to check evt.target to see in which
component the key was pressed. Ex.:

public boolean(Event evt, Object obj)
{
	if (event.target == varTextField)
		doSomething()

	return true;
}

It's very strange but <return> key presses are not send to the keyup and
keydown-methods. Hope this helps.

Would anyone happen to know how to get Java 1.0.2 responding to things
like <return> key presses in AWT components such as TextField's and
TextArea's?  Iv'e looked all the way through the JDK documentation (yes,
ALL of it!!!) and the only time I seem able to do it is using listeners in
1.1.  This is ok and easy but I /really/ need serious backwards
compatibility here.

Why do I have a nasty feeling it's not possible and that I'm going to have
to write a lengthy Thread just to check the contents of the text area?..

Matt. W.
