[Jprogramming] GUI tab = enter+tab?

[bill lam]

assuming form name is pa and controls are a1,a2,a3,a4
adding these line so that enter key will focus to the next control.

pa_a1_button=: wd bind 'setfocus a2'
pa_a2_button=: wd bind 'setfocus a3'
pa_a3_button=: wd bind 'setfocus a4'
pa_a4_button=: wd bind 'setfocus a1'
