  To type a character with a umlaut or a circonflex accent (ë,ê..) on a french
keyboard, you have to first hit the '^' or '¨' keys, and then the letter.
On win98 and win2000 this process doesn't work unless you do it very fast.
The following example has this problem on win98 and win2000 systems, but winNT
works fine.

import java.awt.*;
public class TestAccent extends Frame
{
public TestAccent (String title) {
super(title);
                TextField text = new TextField();
                add(text);
               }
        public boolean handleEvent(Event evt) {
if (evt.id == Event.WINDOW_DESTROY) {
System.exit(0);
}
                return super.handleEvent(evt);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
            Frame f=new TestAccent("TestAccent");
            f.resize(500,100);
            f.show();
}
}
