I am experimenting with the KeyPress event.  I set up the event handler
by calling XtAddEventHandler with the KeyPressMask.  When I run my
program on a Sun and I press a key, the event is recognized.  My
problem occurs when my client machine is a Sun and my server machine is
a DecStation 3100 running Ultrix 4.0 and DecWindows.  It doesn't seem
to recognize the event when I press a key.  (Note:  I tried the
ButtonPressMask to see if I was setting up my event handler correctly
and the ButtonPress event was recognized.)  I have noticed in the past
that DecWindows behaves a little differently.  I'm wondering if the
problem I'm having is unique to DecWindows.  If so, I'd like to know
why.

Thanks in advance.
