jTextField and Focus

At startup, I want the focus to go to the one and only jTextField in my app,
so I tried:

  /**Start the applet*/
  public void start() {
    jTextField1.requestFocus();
  }

This works but it also disables the arrow keys, the Home and End key etc.

What am I doing wrong?

James
