I've got a really simple question which doesn't seem to be in the
FAQL.  I have a Sun SPARCStation SLC running SunOS 4.1.1 with
xview to handle my XWindows.  My problem is that some windows
which expect to receive keyboard input are ignoring KeyPresses
and beeping instead.  It's as though the KeyPress event mask
hadn't been set.  Looking at the source code though, I know
that it has been.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Pat
