Actually, Mark, it's simpler than this, although you have hit the nail on
the head with 'traversalOn':

on preOpenCard
   set the traversalOn of fld 1 to false
end preOpenCard

on openCard
   set the traversalOn of fld 1 to true
end openCard

I've been waiting for a recipe that was simple enough to not have the first
field auto-focused, and this is it! Thanks, Mark!
