#99 Scroll (left and right) through Directory Entries in "Edit" window
It'd be cool if you could scroll back/forward through "dialing" directory entries with the arrow keys.
The uifc.list() function supports mode flags to display left and/or right arrows and support returning magic numbers when the user hits left and right arrow keys (or clicks them with their mouse). This is used in SCFG to scroll (down/up or back/forward) through items of the same time for easy examination or comparison (quicker/easier than hitting ESC, arrow, ENTER). See SCFG->Message Areas for an example.

"of the same type" (not time)
Unfortunately, the current list editing model doesn't really support the concept (not every item in the list even supports editing for example). For v2, the UI is going to have a major overhaul and quite possibly won't use uifc at all. I'll leave this open, but I don't think it's likely.
This is supported now, just not using the UIFC left/right magic (left/right already do something else)
