[WIN] determining key press

Hi, all.

I'm having trouble understanding how to determine (via Win32lib)
whether the Enter key was pressed.  I've read the docs in 
Win32lib.ew re: onKeyDown and found them to be unintelligible (to me).
Also, have found no examples of using onKeyDown in any of the 
sample programs.

My need occurs in a program with a number of EditText fields. If the
user inadvertantly presses the enter key instead of tabbing to the next
fields, the program assumes data entry is finished, and then proceeds 
to try to process without the required data, and crashes. I'd like to be 
able to trap the pressing of the Enter key, and just setFocus to the 
next EditText field if that event occured. 

After a long, sleepless night trying to solve this, I must turn, once
again to my knowledgeable mentors. Any help will be gratefully 
received. 

Thanks.
Josh
