   "Tab to a text_edit - enter text - tab to a checkbox - check it with a
space - tab to a Search button - press it with a space"

   instead of

   "Move a hand to the mouse - move mouse to the text_edit - click to focus
- move the hand to the keyboard - enter text - move the hand to the mouse -
move the mouse to the checkbox - click to check - move the mouse to the
Search button - click to submit"

   I am one of those mouse-haters, and I use keyboard as much as possible.
All platforms allow me to do it with keyboard shortcuts, default buttons
and tabs over all widgets.

Oleg.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
