But I don't know if moving focus without user intervention is a good idea -- I've never seen this happen and I think it could really make someone mad if the program were to switch focus from the control when he wanted to do something with it.

The trouble with using an external viewer is that it would be sued for all the other text dialogs as well (there are not many of them but 2 or 3 do exist) and this might be undesirable.

Wow, thanks -- I thought TABbing didn't work at all in that dialog but I never thought to use Ctrl-Tab.

This would be definitely better -- will [try to] do it right now.
