TESO tab order control using handler

[Josh Davenport]

This is how I solved the problem.

Again, the issue here is that when using a macro attached to a TESO  
as a handler, you are somewhat limited in what's allowed.
But the Handler option solves a lot of problems, and is faster when  
tabbing, so I like to use it.

Created a fileglobal,vJumpObject

TESO Handler:

case trig beginswith "focus"
     vLastSampleLineEditor=array(trig,2,".")
     if vJumpObject ­ ""
         if info("activesuperobject")­vJumpObject
             local vJump
             vJump=vJumpObject
             vJumpObject=""
             superobjectcloseplease
             superobject vJump,"open"
         endif
     endif

rtn

case vEditorName="A_TESO_Name"
     if info("keycode")=48						;we are tabbing
         vJumpObject="A_DIFFERNT_TESO"
     endif


however you wish to manage it - as a preference, for example
set vJumpObject to the name of the object to jump to
