      I have created a TextField in GridBagLayout in a Frame. When I try to write a '\' in the TextField nothing happens.

      When i try to write a backslash in a
      java.awt.TextField or a java.awt.TextArea
      no "\" is written the computer just beeps
      The problem affects Swedish versions of
      windows 95, and Windows NT 4.0 service pack 3

      It is possible to write a backslash if
      you use java.awt.swing.JTextArea instead.
      However,this dosn't work as a workaround
      since it is impossible to write the Swedish
      characters : å, ä, ö (aring, auml,ouml)
      in JTextArea.
      In JTextArea å appear as a
      wawed equals sign,
      the ä apper as an f, (ASCII 131)
      The ö apper as a minus sign with one dot above and
      one dot below.(ASCII 247)
