I guess I'm trying to send that message.  The fields in question are card
fields.  What happens is that the pointer stays a cursor and all the menus
are disabled.  It's as though I can't send any messages.

I'm not sure I understand what Auto-tab is supposed to do.  How do you set
it anyway?   

Oh I'm using 1.2.1....
