Also have you read Nobody knows shoes? 
cloud.github.com/downloads/*shoes*/*shoes*/nks.pdf

it gave me a good idea on how to use stacks/flows for what I wanted to 
accomplish and it has an interesting style.

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for the post and welcome to Shoes ML. ;-)

At first, are you using Red Shoes on OSX, aren't you?

1. I think this is the problem on OSX. I'm using Red Shoes 3 for Windows.
The tabbing (move to next edit_line) works well in the following snippet.

Shoes.app do
 3.times{edit_line}
end

2. Look at focus() method: http://shoes.heroku.com/manual/Button.html#focus
But, umm.... The following snippet doesn't work as expected on my Windows 7.
I think this is a bug...

Shoes.app do
 button('one'){alert 'one'}
 button('two'){alert 'two'}.focus
 button('three'){alert 'three'}
end

ps. With Green Shoes, this snippet works well. ;-)

3. Oh, good idea!
I don't know anyone write the Date Picker. But feel free write it by
yourself and share. ;-)

4. As Tobi noted, Shoes.setup is one of the ways.

Have fun,
