How do I implement a KeyListener event to trap function keys (say F1 for
help) in a java dos application and peform some action?

I found this demo code, but generates weird errors (using MS VJ++ 6.0):

class MyKeyListener implements KeyListener{
    keyTyped(KeyEvent e){
        if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER) {
            // do something
        }
    }
}

Thoughts?

FYI, http://java.sun.com 

I have found that 'clones' of the JDK [such as blackdown.org's Java
port] don't handle keylisteners overly nicely :((

VJ++ isn't very JDK compatible. So don't be suprised when it doesn't
work ;)

Continuing on what was mentioned about, ignore VJ++, it is a corruption
of the java language. Use JDK! Sun have release Java Workshop 3 for
free. I *purchased* JWS 2.0 and I love it to death. Now my only problem
is I don't use windows much anymore!
