several posts have shown recently that key board equivs in panels
dont require the command key to be pressed, unlike windows.

but if a button has a sound associated with it, the sound is played
if the button is pressed using the mouse but not when using the keyboard.

why?  I thought the whole point of keyboard equivs was to be "equivalent"
to the corresponding mouse action.

in my case, a big point of the buttons are to play sounds since
the app is a toy for my child.

is there a simple IB workaround?
I know how to get around it in obj-C and appkit, but dont
want to miss some simple fix (there are a lot of buttons)

is anything else different between an equivalent and the real thing?
