No, sorry, I'm after a popup, not a selectbox, for more than a screenful of
text. So far I've got a subscreen with a field on it that fills the screen,
which mostly solves my problem, but it's a bit naff to scroll (PF1/D & U go
down & up; prev/next & arrows don't work). This is maybe marginally better than
having to use ctrl/B to see anything.
