mlNext Key View doesn't "go to" pushbutton

I've got a number of text boxes to be filled in by the user.  Tab order
works fine using next key view in IB.  After filing the last box, I'd like
the user to be able to tab to a "commit" button, but next key view doesn't
go there, even though the IB heads up boxes and inspector panes show that
it does.

Ideally, tabbing to the Commit button would bring it into focus, light its
focus ring, and the allow the user to press "enter" (or "return" :-). to
commit the data.  Then the next key view would recycle to the first in the
sequence of text fields. 

Seems that this should be possible to set up in IB, but  dogon if I'm
seein' a way to do it (been watching too much campaign TV lately).

Related question:  How can I (again in IB) set it so the return key follows
the next key view sequence as well as tab key does?

Neither Hillgass nor Anderson seem to cover these (I admit I read
impatiently and rely on the index a lot), and the Apple documentation (and
various archives) are so extensive I haven't been able to hit exactly the
key words to get to the answers.

Best,

John Velman
