Thanks Derek,

        I'm using the up and dn arrows to advance / backup editText fields
(don't cringe too much) rather than what windows does (the same as left and
right arrows). What windows does after I'm through with setFocus() is to
move the arrow to an interior part (where it would have been on the previous
field usually) of the editText field where I've setFocus(). Difficult to
explain, hopefully you can follow.
