Hi, Folks,

What's the conventional way for me, the application programmer, to have my
Athena dialog widget fire off a command button when the user enters
a <return>, instead of the dialog box widening to accept more data?  I've
played around with key accelerators in the dialog box, but the text area
doesn't recognize my requests.  I understand that the text area is a separate
widget, and so may ignore what its parent the dialog widget says, but I also
understand why it is a bad thing to go down and tweak with the "hidden" text
widget.   
This is using R4 with fixes 1 and 2 under SunOS 4.0.3.  The dialog box
has 2 child command buttons as well as its own label and text area.  

Thanks for any help or advice.
