Carey explained beautifully: How I think this works: We have a four-character field, for instance: ____ with the cursor here: ^ Enter three characters: ABC_ ^ Enter the fourth character, and the state changes: ABCD [1] ~ Now if the user presses Field Exit, all the associated processing is done, and the cursor moves to the next field. If the cursor is just positioned over the fourth character: ABCD [2] ^ and field exit is pressed, then the final character is erased, and the cursor moves to the next field. ABC_ ____ ^ One further point: when the cursor is in the altered state (example [1] above), pressing the cursor left or backspace key should cause the cursor to remain positioned over the last character, but in the normal state (example [2]). ____ Paul +--- | This is the LINUX5250 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to LINUX5250@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to LINUX5250-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to LINUX5250-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
