"on enterKey" not working

Two suggestions for you Paul:

1. Set the traversalOn of all buttons to false. It is used on Windows
where people tab through buttons, but on Macs, this is not needed, but
as you have observed, it does allow buttons to grab the focus.

2. Add an enterInField handler to your card script as well. This
should catch the key press when the focus is in a field.
