keyDown event help

i can only get the applet to register the key presses if the
cursor is in a text box area, how do i get it so that it will when it is
out of the text box area??

thanks

sounds like you only have the KeyListener registered on the TextArea control.
you need to register the listener for each component that will respond to
the KeyListener.
