I think the more correct way to do radiobuttons is to have it that one tabs into the group and moves between the options of the group with cursor keys.

Hi, a quick comment on radio buttons. Radio buttons are not accessed uniformly in Windows applications. Sometimes one can TAB from one radio button to another within a single control. Better in my opinion is to TAB among controls and then use the up/down arrows to check the radio buttons within a single control. Then set/reset with spacebar. Is ther actually a recommended behavior?

You still should be able to tab between the controls. There were problems when using checkboxes too. If you tabbed too far you would get stuck. Isn't this a standard Windows dialog with standard windows controls? The Recent Files dialog is OK. You can tab completely around that dialog and it works.

Neither tab nor shift-tab work. You can't tab to the radio buttons or the cancel button. If you click on the radio buttons with the mouse focus moves there but as soon as you tab back to the save button you are stuck again.
