I've finally got around to working with AWT (this is with Java Beta1 on
WinNT).  I've noticed a few things, was curious if I'm missing something or
if these issues will be addressed in a future version:

It doesn't look like one can tab between fields (at least, not they way I've
tried it).

There doesn't seem to be a way to create keyboard accelerators.

There doesn't seem to be a way to "check" and "uncheck" menu items (they can
be enabled/disabled, though).

MenuBar's in Frame's aren't cleanly (visually) separated from the contents
of the window (ie, no clean seperating line).

Frame.setHelpMenu() doesn't seem to work - the menu isn't displayed.

Help, pointers, confirmation, rebuttals all accepted ;-)
