Hi Bruce: I ran some more tests and found that when I closed all windows I 
could still tab around to the buttons for hidden items of varying sorts.
  Also,  Automation Focus tracked the Tab item being found.
  It appears that what is shown depends on the Selected Item in the Tab Group 
rather than what has focus.
  So I will be trying to figure out how to work with the Selection Pattern or 
the SelectionItem patterns to see if there is anything there.
  What a friggen pain in the colon!
