Well, OK, Eric, I'll take the bait!  How did you accomplish this?

   Dan,

   Actually, I recently wrote a SFL display program that works like a
   "shrinking listbox" (my terminology) where the subfile is filtered on
   each keystroke. It actually works reasonably well, given certain
   limitations. I used it to support an online glossary of medical terms
   which our users can insert into text fields.
