I have used Booth's technique a few times, and the users like it. The primary difference between the window technique and a Windows drop down box is that simply tabbing to the field in question or beginning typing does not open the list. I use a command/function key in the program and put forward the window list based upon which field the cursor is in (sometimes there are more than two lists available on a panel).

This is from 1998 so I am sure it needs fresh code, but:

This isn't really a drop down list but it acts about the same way.
