The Dialog Manager routine SelIText allows you to change the
selection in dialog manager editText items. When you see a
return key hit in your filter, you can just call SelIText to
select the next box, then change the event to a nullEvent, so
that the Dialog Manager will not process it.

Alternatively, you can change the value of the key in the event
to Tab, fooling the Dialog Manager into thinking that the user
hit the Tab key, which behaves in the way you describe it.
