- I also prefer to use the ENTER to move to the next field. My user interface
- routines that I use, incorporate this feature.
-
- You mention the CUA standard.
-
- What is this? Where is it used? How widely is it used?
-
- I'm all for using a standard user interface, but I was not aware that
- any standard existed.
-
- More information would be appreciated on the CUA standard, or any other
- standards that do exist.
-
- Cheers,
