(int)KeyEvent.getKeyChar() returns 0xff08 when the key is a
backspace
while (int)'\b' = 0x0008. This impacts checking characters
typed
in for backspace. Workaround is to also check the key
code
(eg getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SPACE).
This only happens on solaris appletviewer, not on Windows 95
