fs28 An NSForm is an NSMatrix that contains titled entries (text fields) into which a user can type data values. Entries are indexed from the top down (starting with zero). Each item in the NSForm, including the titles, is an NSFormCell. A mouse click on an NSFormCell (that is, on the title or in the entry area) starts text editing in that entry. If the user presses the Return or Enter key while editing an entry, the action of the entry is sent to the target of the entry, or'd0if the entry doesn't have an action'd0the NSForm sends its action to its target. If the user presses the Tab key, the next entry in the NSForm is selected; if the user presses Shift-Tab, the previous entry is selected.
