Well, that's quite obnoxious! I haven't had the displeasure of using any
Java applets in quite a long time. It could be just a limitation of the GUI
toolkit (e.g. AWT) or the program itself -- if it doesn't support keyboard
tabbing, then there most likely isn't much hope for fixing it.

One simple minded suggestion: try CTRL-I. That emits a tab character in many
contexts. But given the above, it probably won't work either.

Anyway, good luck!
