Not possible. The TAB key is not an AID key and is handled by the  
client (terminal, emulator, etc.). The best you could do is tag the  
FROM field with CHECK(ER) but this requires either typing into the  
last character position or the use of the Field Exit key. This would  
give control back to your program as if Enter had been pressed but  
you'd still have to programmatically assign FROM to TO and redisplay  
the panel.
