>I noticed for the first time today that you can TAB out of a class... I have a simple class that pops up and gives users a couple of choices.

Your command button code click could be like:

* do whatever 

this.parent.Visible = .F.
keyboard '{TAB}'

and have this code in your container class' LostFocus code:

If this.Visible
	NoDefault
	this.firstControl.SetFocus()  && set focus to first control whatever is that
endif

However, note that this wouldn't only allow TAB to cycle within the container class containers but would set focus to first control if the user say use mouse to get to another control on the form (IOW either keyboard or mouse container retains the focus).
