[IronPython] Events on Buttons, and Focus, in IronPython

[Curt Hagenlocher]

You want args.Key instead of e.Key. The standard event signature is
function(object sender, EventArgs args).

But the better way to do this is to set the OK button to be the default
button. In Winforms, this is a property on the form:
form.AcceptButton = self.ok_button.
