I'm curious if there's a way to shift the focus from the browser window to the BYOND interface without mouse-clicking.
Example: I click a link in the browse window. Then I read the results. Then I try to move using the arrow keys, but I can't because the focus is still in the browse window. So I have to reach for the mouse again...
Any ideas?

Believe it or not, I spent a whole day on this damn problem. I have concluded that, without rewriting IE from scratch, it is impossible to get working the way I want. The problem is that sometimes you need the focus in the browser (mainly for forms), so I can't just automatically place it on the command line as with the other controls. Unfortunately it seems to be a technical conundrum to detect whether you are in an editing situation on the browser. I'll try to do some sort of move-focus trick next time I mess with it.
