As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Even if you could do that, why would you want to? That would be a very

I would find it extremely annoying if a window popped up, when I was
just tabbing through some fields ... =-O
I can see someone wanting to provide context-sensitive prompts or
help. So when the cursor is in FieldA, you are given information
about FieldA; and when you're in FieldB, you are given information
about FieldB. Maybe they're thinking along the lines of mouseovers or
tooltips. Even if *you* don't like any of those things, I find that
lots of actual users in the real world like and expect that kind of
stuff. For that matter, I've seen (and liked) this kind of stuff in
character-based DOS software, back in the '80s. But it's not
achievable using 5250.
