autoTabset [the] autoTab of field to ¬ trueOrFalse
The autoTab property returns or sets whether HyperCard inserts a return character when the insertion point is on the last line of a field (autoTab is false) or moves the insertion point to the next editable field on the card (autoTab is true). Note: Auto tabbing doesn't work with scrolling fields. The autoTab property corresponds to the Auto Tab check box in a Field Info dialog box. Examplesset autoTab of card field 3 to true set autoTab of field "address" to false
