foxpro was following standard and is the posisbly the most successful 
dBase dialect after the romance of the 3 kingdoms (Fox Software, 
Ashton-Tate and Nantucket). The <TAB> was always the key to move between 
field. Even in nCurse, I believe...

I barely remembered that there was a SAA (System Application 
Architecture) from IBM that depicts how a user shoudl interact with a GUI.

BTW, how could I write something like these in perl? I am learning...

private m.field1, m.field2
m.field1=space(5)
m.field2=10111.1234
@ 0,0 say "field1" get m.fiedl1
@ row()+1,0 say "field1" get m.field2 picture "999,999.9999"
read modal cycle
