 Thanks, I thought to test this in a small example MSW program but didn't
realize we already had examples of such dialogs in Windows itself.

 Yes, looks like it. I don't know/remember any more why was it decided to
make Enter behave like this, but it does seem like it was a mistake. I even
start wondering whether it should pass to the next control in the dialogs
without any default button. Probably not...

 Anyhow, I'll look at this and will fix it in wxMSW if it doesn't require
too much time/effort (but I don't think so) and if there are no objections
from Greg.

 Thanks,
