If the GLCanvas receives the key events, the key listener will have to be added to it instead of the JFrame, it's a basic Swing problem, it's not a JOGL problem.

How do I add the KeyListener to JFrame correctly (in this context)?

Swing works that way,...

I am a noob with this, I stated so and asked some questions, but you didn't read everything:::

"Thank you for reply.  Can you elaborate further, I am rather new to these particular APIs.

I tried to use GLU.createGLU(GL) instead of GLU(), but I must have written the wrongly because I had errors. So  how do I replace GLU() correctly?
Is it possible that you write the corrections over the original code and paste it in a reply? I will learn better that way.

Many thanks in advance

... I mean for newbies like me, reading only the theory often adds to the complexity and mystery of the issue, if not accompanied by a slight code snippet (in this case code correction).  Very honestly I am still lost as I got errors from my attempts to correct it

With regards and many thanks, all help appreciated
