The more I learn about the InterViews Glyph-based classes,
the more I like it!  If it were available on all platforms,
there would be no contest between it and other UI toolkits
for a combination of ease-of-use and flexibility.

Having said that, and having gotten past my last misunder-
standing about Glyphs (Mark: Thanks for the great example on
rubberbanding), I now reach my next conceptual chasm.

I have a window with a bunch of buttons and field-editor
fields.  The normal input behaviour in this case is that
selecting one of the fields causes it to receive focus, and
all keyboard events will be directed to the input field
regardless of what object the mouse cursor is over.

I have successfully created an InputHandler object which
contains a list of my buttons and editors.  Selecting a
button or edit-field does switch focus properly, but keystroke
events are only directed to the edit-field when the mouse
cursor is over an edit-field.

How can I cause all keystroke events in the window to be
directed to the object that has focus?

Thanks ...
