Hi Denn,

I did find that the entryrecall ( see below ) option enables ctrl-B to work
immediately when pressed rather than having to press return also, 

	quick auto=myftp2c info="entryrecall"

but I don't believe that there is an edit control other than ctrl-B for this
option; I just found the following entry in the knowledge base '- the up
arrow is redefined to move up a line in POPUP so you have to use CTRL-B',
which confirms this.  

You will see a list of all acceptable entries ( for different terminal types
) if you create the disk file QKGOTIC as described below,


	Problem

	Caller would like information on the options available in pop-up
windows and the associated key sequences

	Solution

	when you type 'list' in the prompt field of screen '( Terminal
Interface Configuration (TIC) ) in the 'setqkgo' utility, a list file (
QKGOTIC ) is produced of all available key sequences and the mode of
operation - details below.

	e       ( for enter )
	dummy   ( dummy qkgo file name )
	8       ( Terminal Interface Configuration (TIC) )
	list
	then enter @ in response to prompt 'Enter terminal type to report:' 

	the above produces a listing in file QKGOTIC for all terminal types
and key sequences. An extract from this file is displayed below ( used
command  print QKGOTIC ).
