After shuffling the controls around a little, I now have my 7 EditText 
controls giving me 14,12,11,10,9,8,7.  This is better.  If it wouldn't 
skip 13 I could deal with it.  I could deal with it anyway by making 
some sort of cross referrence table; 14=1, 12=2, etc, but I don't think 
I should have to.  How can I fix this?
