MAC OS X tab question

This has been annoying me for far too long.
Is there a way to switch via keyboard, between the buttons in dialog boxes on MAC OS X?
For example, say I hit command-Q, to quit a program and and it says "Do you really want to quit?", and the options are "cancel" and "yes". Can I switch between yes and no via the keyboard... and then hit enter.
This is something that's easily done on PC's via arrow keys and makes for faster usage.
At the moment I have to use the mouse for such a simple task.

You have to enable this option in system prefs under Keyboard & Mouse. You can also often just hit the first letter of the option. ie. if Don't Save is an option, you can just hit "d".

In the system prefs... did you mean unders Keyboard Shortcuts > Full Keyboard access?

I think I figured it out:
1. Turn on full keyboard access ( ctrl-f7 )
2. When you want to toggle in a dialog box hit "tab"
3. When you're on the option you want, hit "space" to accept it.
yeehar.
