Hi Tracy.

>Later it was decided that the user should be able to enter the values to populate the fields in any order after the TS is typed.

Is it possible to add one thing to the specs: the need to type an identifier for each parameter? For example:

B10 TS L=4004, A=100 N Main St, S=TX ...

where L stands for license, A for address, etc. That way, the user could type things in any order they wish and the parsing would be easy and fast using STREXTRACT(). And a single mnemonic letter or at most two letters would be easy for the user to remember.
