My application requires a user to enter numbers and specific alpha chars in entry fields. I would like to be able to bind the <Return> key to each entry with the focus then shifting to the next entry field for data input. Currently, this occurs using the <Tab> key in the application. How would I go about this?

Use the bind command:

(Toggle Plain Text)

bind .entry1 <Return> { focus .entry2 }

should do it (obviously substitute your own entry widget window pathnames for .entry1 and .entry2).
