Hello,

I'm trying to figure out why the JButtons I'm using in my applet won't
execute their associated actionListener functionality when I hit either
'Enter' key on my keyboard.  That is, all of the code in an actionPerformed
event associated with a button's ActionListener will only be executed if I
click on that button with the mouse.  I can tab to all of my button
components and see the tab moving, but when I stop on one and hit either
enter key on my keyboard, the button does not depress and nothing happens.
Big bummer.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?  Up until now, I've seen the
functionality that I desire happen automatically with JButtons, so I'm
stumped.  Thanks in advance.

Jeff
