Re: Is this possible and if so

[Raul Jager <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since there are at most 100 values, you can build a sub-file, and let the user 
select the proper description.

A pretier alternative is to build a web-page, there you can code a short 
javascript that will show the description as soon as the user types the code, 
and better even, if the description is not the one he needed, it will be very 
easy to type the correct code.
