Marcia, I've been trying to use essentially this code, but when I type the first character, I get the first item in the list. If I backspace and hit it again, I get the correct item. Does this sound at all familiar? Thanks.

(And yes, I know that the proper answer to this is "go buy Kilofox". :-) )
