Good idea, Buck.  Place a one-character non-display entry field before any
protected field you want to be output from the selected item on the prompt
window.

  Region:    _ ++++++++++++++++++++++
  Territory: _ ++++++++++++++++++++++

"_" marks the one-character non-display entry field that indicates which
field to prompt for;
"++++++++++++++++++++++" marks the value selected from the prompt window.

I like it.  The only thing better would be if a prompt window could
automagically appear when the cursor is tabbed into a selected field.  Well,
maybe.
