When switching focus to a text field, be it by the user, or the program, 
how do you make it select all the text?

ie. like when you click on the address bar in netscape, by default all 
the text is selected, so you can just start typing and it will replace 
everything that is there.

I've got a little applet where im constantly tab'ing back over fields to 
replace their contents, and i have to delete the values manualy each 
time...quite frustrating after a while.

Any ideas?

TIA

-Daniel
