      Name: gm110360 Date: 10/30/2001


      java version "1.3.1_01"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_01)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_01, mixed mode)


      create a key event listner or go
      to :http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/KeyEventDemo.html
      hit left ctrl button and right ctrl buttons respectively, they have the same
      keycode etc.
        Old ibm 5250 terminals distinguish between the two keys for submit/enter(right-
      ctrl key) and reset(left-ctrl key). We are busy with a tn5250 java emulator:
      tn5250j.sourceforge.net, not having this functionality will cause horrible user
      errors(force of habbit).
      Please help.
      TIA
