There are times when in a combo box that I can't access a send key or other
command keys pertinant to the combo box. After I read the posts today I
pasted them in a jfw list file and can go back to figure out how to get out
of the mess. It is very frustrating to get into a combo box, do what they
want and then have no place to go. Thanks to all who cleared it up. Judith
