Wonderful !
I never knew there was use for panel input outside of clunky IBM block mode
terminals.
I wish I knew what it is I don't know & need to know ;)
Just one problem: I tried it on a big (nearly 2k) character field:

field jcdescription & ; id 6
	hidden label 'Description: ' at 10,2 data at 10,16 &
	errorrecall &
	popup from 2,1 to 21,80 on data for 2,60

It didn't do the popup, just the two display lines - can it popup too ?

Many thanks,
Chris
