Sorry to jump in with a different and less important "feature":

The above code works just fine for me, with focus initially on Text2
and pressing tab moves the focus to Text3.

However, if I change Text2 to a ComboBox, or better:
Text2 =3D create(ComboBox, "", MainWin, 5, 35, 200,  25, 0)
addItem(Text2,"This is it")
setIndex(Text2,1)

the initial focus is OK, but pressing tab jumps back to Text1, which
is kinda odd. Subsequent tabs operate "in the right order".
