I want to know if it is possible to use the filter function 
passed to ModalDialog to take a keydown event, change it to 
a mousedown event, and have ModalDialog process this. I have
a problem where I have two textedit boxes in a dialog. 
I want the dialog to behave in such a way that if the user
hits the return key in one textedit box, the cursor  
automatically goes to the next text box and activates it.  
I have tried to modify: event.where to a point in the
rectangle, set event.what = mouseDown, and 
OrBit(Event.modifiers, 128) (sets the mouse down bit), but
it does'nt seem to work.  Is there a way to do this?
