	* <b>NOTE:</b> The <code>Event</code> class is obsolete and is
	* available only for backwards compatibility. It has been replaced
	* by the <code>AWTEvent</code> class and its subclasses.
	* <p>
	* <code>Event</code> is a platform-independent class that
	* encapsulates events from the platform's Graphical User
	* Interface in the Java 1.0 event model. In Java 1.1
	* and later versions, the <code>Event</code> class is maintained
	* only for backwards compatibility. The information in this
	* class description is provided to assist programmers in
	* converting Java 1.0 programs to the new event model.
	* <p>
	* In the Java 1.0 event model, an event contains an
	* {@link Event#id} field
	* that indicates what type of event it is and which other
	* <code>Event</code> variables are relevant for the event.
	* <p>
	* For keyboard events, {@link Event#key}
	* contains a value indicating which key was activated, and
	* {@link Event#modifiers} contains the
	* modifiers for that event. For the KEY_PRESS and KEY_RELEASE
	* event ids, the value of <code>key</code> is the unicode
	* character code for the key. For KEY_ACTION and
	* KEY_ACTION_RELEASE, the value of <code>key</code> is
	* one of the defined action-key identifiers in the
	* <code>Event</code> class (<code>PGUP</code>,
	* <code>PGDN</code>, <code>F1</code>, <code>F2</code>, etc).
