getKeyCode() method returns the integer key-code associated with the key in this event.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/awt/event/KeyEvent.html
 
i used it in this way:
 
int myKey = e.getKeyCode();
  if (myKey == 3      { up = true; down = false; left  = false; right = false;  }
  else if (myKey == 40) { down = true; up = false; left  = false; right = false; }
  else if (myKey == 37) { left = true; down = false; up  = false; right = false; }
  else if (myKey == 39) { right = true; down = false; left = false; up = false; }  
  // KEY UP = 38;  
  // KEY DOWN = 40;  
  // KEY LEFT = 37;  
  // KEY RIGHT = 39;

works fine on my mac ( OS X 10.3.4 w/ java 1.4.2 - safari ). the only thing that is inconsistent is the recording feature. can't decide if it is a interactivity issue or the actual interface is not working...
 
nice though ... keep it up!

thanks mohn.
 
yeah these buttons are not functional as an interface they are currently just signifiers for recording and playing events.  
 
the work is in progress, so i'll use them later.
