Changing the Default Button

[Dan Shafer]

Sarah....

Makes sense, BUT.... Setting the default of a button in the property  
inspector in the IDE works in such a way that it does indeed activate  
that button's mouseUp script on return/enter without any scripting on  
our part. So the question is why when he changes the default button  
from button A to button B in a script, does not hitting Return/Enter  
activate Button B's default mouseUp handler. Should work as far as I  
can tell. Clearly doesn't.
