This is a Netscape 3 under Solaris 'feature'. Netscape 3 under other OSs
does not have this 'feature'. It is not peculiar to vnc, as I first
encountered it with a VT100 emulator. I that case my work round was to
provide a key (or should that be button) pad on-screen. I recall that
using the arrow keys on the keyboard, moved the focus around the
on-screen buttons!

I have also found a Mac with IE4 on it, and vnc does appear to run,
but I recall that control keys were not passed through. I must
go and check this.
