I don't know where my 1'st email went. It got lost so here is again.

Thanks Derek,

Nice Idea but windows apparently ignores it. I even tried to set the current
field index to zero on a lostfocus event before the field is left.

procedure lostFocusProcess()
 setIndex(getSelf(),0)
end procedure

onLostFocus[Screen] = routine_id("processLostFocus")
onKeyPress[Screen] = routine_id("keyPressProcessB")
onKeyDown[Screen] = routine_id("keyPressProcessA")

Windows 'remembers' where the cursor location was at the field (i.e. use
your mouse and click it to the middle of a field) and if you return it
places the cursor at that location (+- 1 based on up or down arrow being
used) and ignores the setIndex().
