Vladimir,
Is Set Confirm what you're looking for? The Hacker's Guide says:
"With CONFIRM ON, the user must explicitly complete an entry in a text box or spinner by pressing Enter, Tab or a navigation key. When CONFIRM is OFF, filling a text box or spinner (by entering either as many characters as the InputMask calls for or as many as will fit) moves the cursor to the beginning of the next input field automatically."
(Took me quite awhile to find it, since MY memory isn't too good these days either...)
