can't tab between controls



 so, my application has a window with a bunch of controls on it, mostly
NSButtons with images instead of text.  I want the application to be
designed such that one of the buttons initially has keyboard "focus", which
i'm assuming is firstResponder status.   So, in IB, I set this button to be
the "Initial First Responder".  These buttons are disabled in the NIB and
re-enabled when the user opens a doc.

 and when my app starts up and those buttons are all enabled, the one
button does indeed have the keyboard focus.

 however, i cannot hit TAB to move between these controls any more.

 if i DON'T set it as the initial first responder, then

 a. the wrong control comes up with the keyboard focus.
 b. i CAN use TAB to move between controls.

any idea what i'm doing wrong?  am i misinterpreting/misusing the first
responder concept?

 thanks,
 marc.
