urgent! need onkeypress event handler workaround

hi,
i'm tied to working with Netscape 4.76 on Solaris 2.6. i'd like to be able to create my own hot-keys, or accelerator keys. for example, pressing Ctrl-W ANYWHERE IN THE WEB PAGE to talk to a java applet function embedded in the webpage. however, i've learned that keypress only works WITHIN text fields or a text area for Netscape 4.76 on Solaris 2.6. i've tried the suggestions i've found on newsgroups to just capture the event and then register the event. i suppose that this normally works, but not Netscape 4.76 on Solaris 2.6.
this issue is a big one for my application. any help would be greatly appreciated!
regards,
billy
