RE: check box question

I believe this is what you want:

The fglprofile that ships with BDS has this setting:

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Selection key for radio groups and check boxes. This entry defines
# the key that must be pressed to select the radio or check box and
# move to the next field.
# NOTE: This can be set to an empty string ("").
# Default value : "Return"
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#gui.key.radiocheck.invokeexit = "Return" ## DVM2 TCL2


If you uncomment the last line and change it to an empty string, the user
should be able to "pass through" that checkbox field without changing the
value:

gui.key.radiocheck.invokeexit = "" ## DVM2 TCL2

This also gives you the more "windows-like" behavior of using the spacebar
while on the checkbox field to check and uncheck the box.
