Rich,

I had a practice project in JBuilder that had a class subclassed from
JApplet in it.  Originally, I was using the Windows L&F for that project.  I
threw a JButton in a panel with some functionality and it executed fine by
tabbing to it and hitting the enter key.  So, after I saw your reply about
the Metal L&F, I changed the code so that the Metal L&F would be used.  I
ran it again and was able to tab to the button, hit enter, and watch the
button's functionality go to work.

That's the desired behavior I want; but, in the other applet I'm working
(that's using Metal L&F) on, this desired functionality with using the
keyboard is not happening.  I have to click on a button with the mouse in
order for the button to do its thing.  I might have misunderstood what you
were saying before.  This applet that I'm talking about is running off of a
Unix box, so maybe things are happening a little differently between there
and this other practice project that I have in JBuilder3.
