Chris,  
 
You could create a subscreen and make its perimeter right around the spot 
where you want your popup.  In that subscreen you could do something like
the 
following. 
 
SCREEN field_popup                                                      & 
   ACTIVITIES FIND                                                      & 
   RECEIVING T_WHATEVER                                                 & 
   FROM <whatever> TO <whatever>                                        & 
   HELP POPUP FROM 14,20 TO 19,60                                       & 
   NOMODE                                                               & 
   NOACTION                                                             & 
   FIELDMARK                                                            & 
   MESSAGE ON LINE 24 
 
TEMP T_WHATEVER 
 
FILE whatever IN whatever OCCURS X 
 
DRAW whatever TO whatever 
SKIP TO 2 
CLUSTER OCCURS 
 
ALIGN (3,3,3) ;data overwrite label since they all start at the same place. 
 
field style-text hidden label "         " ;blanks area the size of your
field 
text 
 
CLUSTER 
  
PROCEDURE DESIGNER 1 
   BEGIN 
      LET whatever =3D whatever_they_pick_from_the_list ;or the same value t=
he 
field had 
      RETURN 
END 
  
If you want them to scroll through this list FIELDMARK and cursor movements 
will do it naturally.  The data will over write the label so it will appear 
that the data is hilited with fieldmarking on.  If you do not want the user 
the change the field than pass back the same value this screen received. 
 
In your input procedure for the field put a message like "enter * to view 
scrollable list".  If they do then it will kick off the subscreen.  They get=
 
to see a list of data they can scroll through but can get back a different 
value or the same.  Whatever you choose.  I'm not sure if this is what you
are 
trying accomplish.

I've got a quick screen with repeating records on it. Each record has a page
or
so of text associated with it in a separate (readonly) file.
Is there any way to put a popup on the field so that it appears full of text
?
All I know how to do is either
	(1) make it popup on accept & have the user hit ctrl/B
or	(2) make it a subscreen
It would be nice to be able to push the ctrl/B, and/or have a display popup.
