The handling of KeyEvents in TextFields is inconsistent between win_95 and 
Solaris.  Under Solaris, the TextField handles the KeyEvent, and then any KeyListeners
are given the KeyEvent.  Under Windows 95, however, the KeyListeners are given the
KeyEvent BEFORE the TextField handles it.  The result of this is, when in the 
KeyListener, it is unknown whether the text returned by TextField.getText() has been
updated with the new keypress.

1. Run the following program
2. Type a few characters in the top TextField
3. Press the "Check" Button
4. Notice that the characters reported in the bottom TextField and the characters
    reported by the "Check" Button differ by one character under Windows 95, but
    they are identical under Solaris.
