Hehe, I should practice what I preach. OK, just wasn't sure if anyone
was really using the del list yet. Posting to the list from this point
forward...

Yes, I did indeed mention that. I'll look into it as well, see what I
can dig up.

Once you tab to the drop down list, ALT-DOWNARROW will open it up and
allow you to scroll through the options. I also prefer keyboard to
mouse, but hate having to type lots of numbers, especially if they need
a ':' separator. I always fat-finger the numbers.

I won't pretend to understand that yet. But perhaps if I look at the
code... I'll see what I can do.
