listening to two keys simultaneously

[kedar kanade]

i have written a key listener for the keypressed event. the problem is that when a key is pressed and held the listener does not respond to any other key pressed. i want different keys recognized independently and simultaneously.how should i use multithreading and event handling in this case?
kindly note that i am using awt package in an applet.
waiting for your reply

I develop a solution for this problem. An KeyListener adapter that have the keyDown and keyUp events.

And thank you for the link to your downloads. It is quite large, but the code itself is quite short.
