hey,
i have a logon dialog with a jtextfield for user id input and
jpasswordfield for password input.  i also have labels and a buttons for
logon/quit.  i have accelerator keys for the butons and textfields.

 my problem is this:
when the user id textfield has focus and i type Alt-P (the accelerator
associated with the password field) the focus jumps to the password
field but the textfield retains and displays the letter 'P'.  the
password field exhibits the same behavior.

my question is this:
how do prevent the textfields from capturing & displaying the
accelerator key?

thanks,
