Description

Name: rm29839			Date: 02/23/98


There is no virtual key listed in java.awt.event.KeyEvent for the number pad Enter key.  There are other number pad keys, 
NUMPAD_0 - NUMPAD_9.  This is unfortunate since host access applications; e.g. Terminal Emulators are important to Enterprise 
Software Vendors like WRQ, Attachmate, IBM.  One of the key functions of the Java PC is to access legacy data and not having the 
Number Pad Enter key really limits the effectiveness of the eumulations.

EVALUATION We should probably fix this. Committing to Tiger. eric.hawkes@eng 2000-02-13 Adding a new keycode for the numpad enter key would cause a backwards incompatibility. Instead, we added a new API to differentiate between them as part of the work for 4424517. eric.hawkes@eng 2001-04-11
