   If this INIT, or one like it, exists, please tell me where I can get a
   copy.  (I don't think QuicKeys can do this... can it?)  Commercial
   software is fine (in fact, would be preferred!).  It must work with
   all applications under both System 6 and System 7, of course.  It would 
   be nice if the user could configure what keys perform what actions.

DiskTop comes with something called "DialogKeys" which does pretty
much what you want.  I don't know whether it works with System 7 or
not, however.  Pressing TAB cycled you through the buttons in a
dialog; RETURN was the equivalent of clicking in the selected button.

Having used it only briefly myself, you may want to give CE Software a
call and ask if it'll do what you want (or perhaps someone else in
this group could better explain).
