If the number of characters in that field format string is exactly equal 
to the length of the string you're going to enter (eg 3 characters for 
an RST) then after you've typed the last character, the cursor will skip 
automatically to the next field.

If you prefer the cursor to stay in the field until you've checked for 
t6ping mistakes, then add at least one trailing space.
