Actually, I made a mistake there -- focus stays on the Ticker Toolbar
when zooming.  But, when opening AB initially, focus is not there,
and if one leaves the AB window for another window and then returns,
focus there is lost.  This I am sure of.  ^_^  So another suggestion
(and I'll write this on the AB site) would be to have simply right
and left (or up and down) arrows on the toolbar (a la MS style) that
do *not* need the focus to change securities.  I'm forever losing the
focus from the Ticker Toolbar, usually from clicking on a chart pane
somewhere so that I can get title data displayed for a particular
date.

I prefer keyboard over mouse, so in that respect I like AB's scan
technique better than MS's.  But, MS requires no focus be maintained.
Perhaps some way of doing this via hotkeys (as if I don't have enough
already) ^_^ that would be independent of the focus (as long as the
AB window itself had focus of course)?
