[Oberon] Have MenuInputTablets confirmed ETHO's TUI?

[Dieter]

Hi Srinivas,
in ETHO windows plugin is a bit more functionality in this area:

  * "delete" deletes only one character (right of cursor) and not a
    selection of text, but then you have the interclicks.
  * "backspace" deletes one character left of cursor
  * cursor up,down and left,right
  * cut and paste from clipboard to oberon and oberon to clipboard
    (select text with right mouse-key) .
    control-c, control-x, control-v work as expected.
  * the mouse wheel works also

Let us ask the experts, whether this functionality can be easily 
transferred to OLR.

Regards,
Dieter
