Summary: Accelerator keys

Initial Comment:
Story:
A user wants to quit DrJava.  After choosing
File->Quit, the user is prompted with a dialog, "Are
you sure you want to quit DrJava?"  Beneath the
message, there are _Y_es and _N_o buttons (with the
first letter underlined), indicating that typing Y or N
will have the same effect as clicking Yes or No,
respectively.  The user is sure, presses the Y key, and
DrJava exits.

The dialog appears as stated, but the current behavior
requires the user to type alt-Y or alt-N to use the
accelerator keys.  This is fairly unintuitive outside
the context of the accelerator keys for the pulldown
menus in the main windows.  For dialogs, it makes more
sense not to require the alt press.  Clearly, this
would involve some mucking with swing/awt primitives. 
A good place to start might be looking at the key
processing done by a JOptionPane.
