RE: java

It sounds a bit strange.  The following code should work:

public boolean action(Event evt, Object obj)
{
   if (event.target == varTextField)
       doSomething()
   return true;
}

The only thing I can think of - and it's something that happened to me once 
- is that maybe there's a repaint you're not noticing which gives the 
impression that the event isn't being captured properly.  But that's 
probably a long shot.

I suggest paring down your code until you've distilled the smallest 
non-working program, then maybe post that to the list so that we can have a 
better look.  Unfortunately, the earliest jdk I have installed on my machine 
is 1.1.7B, so I may not actually be able to test easily.

Alternatively, check out the forum archives at the Javasoft website.  
They're excellent.

Patrick.
