Windows radio buttons

Hi All,

I normally just use & develop for Mac OS X but I am currently working 
on a small app for Windows as well. My problem occurs when people use 
the keyboard to activate a radio button. I have set up all the buttons 
in the correct tab order, so when tab is pressed, the dotted outline 
moves from button to button correctly, then pressing Enter effectively 
clicks the selected button. This all works OK except that radio buttons 
don't unhilite the other members of the radio button group. They work 
fine when actually mouse-clicked but not when done via the keyboard.

Has anyone else noticed this? Am I doing something that is considered 
wrong in the Windows world? Are radio buttons normally excluded from 
keyboard selection? I guess I can put in the script to manually 
unhilite the other radios but it seems like a bug to me :-)

TIA,
Sarah
