Could you please alter the behavior of the Athena logon screen so that
a tab is also a valid way to move from the username to the password field?
Such behavior would be consistent with the PC and Mac operating systems
that are in widespread use on campus.  In those operating systems,
you would expect to hit the return key only after entering both fields.
On Athena, you MUST use the return key to move from one field to the
next.

Thanks,
Tom Grayson
