Hi. Using the JPTUI library to create a simple "wizard" that
asks some questions and then writes responses to a file.
Works great - two questions:

1. Where did JP Delprat's website go? www.teaser.fr/~jpdelprat 
   gives me a 404. Has development stopped on JPTUI?

2. I can't seem to figure out how to bind a keyboard event
   directly to a window. More specifically, just like Alt-F4
   invokes the close button, I'd like some of my own keypresses
   to invoke other parts of the interface. I see an example like
   this is jpdemo, but there the shortcuts are tied to menu items,
   and my little wizard has no menus. For example, I'd like Alt-F10
   (say) to be the equivalent of the "Next" button.
 
   On a related note, say I want something other than Alt-[a-z] to
   activate a pushbutton - how do I encode that in the caption string?

   Again the issue is of specifying key bindings. I'm coming from 
   Tcl/Tk, where stuff like the bind command give you full control
   over what happens - how do I do this with jptui+djgppv2 ?

thanks,
usman
