John, once again you mis-understood, and once again
you seem to be attacking me for no reason.  

I NEVER SAID TO USE @KEYB!

In fact I said to make sure he removed the @keyb.

Where do you come up with this stuff?

Also, it is perfectly fine to do a pushkey "B" when at
the enter selection prompt.  It will give you the
normal filepro browse which is what J. Ryan was
looking for I believe.
