  This is true, much to my embarassment.....

  Then how do we accomplish this type of action?  I find it extremely
  constrictive to have to continuously move the pointer to the next 
  text field in the "entry-form" application that I've built.  


  Allowing the user to completely fill out my template without ever
  having to move a hand from the keyboard to the mouse is a very
  desirable feature in my application.

  How do people do it otherwise?
