provide pref for drop downs vs text box in edit posts screen
Status: Beta

In the edit posts screen in the admin panel, there are
currently drop downs for the following fields:
keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, and category.
These dropdowns contain all the unique values in each
field.
Sometimes, with a large data set, it is desirable to
not have a drop dow box. In such a case, a simple input
text box is desriable.
Step 1: provide preferences in prefs.php or in a prefs
database table to control whether a drop down or text
box is shown for each field.
Step 2: incorporate a JavaScript autocomplete routine
for textboxes
