Desperate plea to FP Tech...

[Boaz Bezborodko]

John mentioned scrolling fields.  Not having them is, I think, one of
the key reasons why more screen space is needed.  For example, if I
simply want to add an e-mail-contact field to a customer screen I have
to take up quite a bit of screen space to accommodate how long an e-mail
address MIGHT be even though most of them don't even come close.  But
most people don't need to see the whole e-mail address and even those
that do rarely have to.

The only problem I can see with scrolling fields is that in many
instances you would still want some way to highlight all the text for
cut and pasting.  Since Filepro doesn't handle a mouse like a GUI would
you can't just click over the entire contents.  You could still code a
popup with the full contents, but now you are adding the necessity of
development time.  So this may be a little more complex than it seems at
first.
