I'll try to tweak that, but it is tricky to get this right in the
general case, because I cannot predict how many lines are the right
number for different font sizes. (It shouldn't be too hard to get the
common cases right, tho (ie, English under mac, linux, and windows).)

There is some feature in the OS that lets you move around between
radio buttons with the keyboard. Matthew uses it under mac os x, so
maybe he can tell you more.
