WEF brwlooks - no cursor

I'm tempted to report this as a bug, but (as so often happens) maybe
it's just me (so many things are just me<tm>):

I'm using a brwlook to pop up a list of valid data values for a field
(from another lookup file, using that code I posted last hour :-), and
I'm doing it from WEF, so the user doesn't have to think.

Cause users don't think all that well.

Alas, there's one minor problem with doing it this way.

When filePro pops up a browse lookup, it turns off the text cursor.
Normally that's ok, since you watched the cursor enter the field in
question, then hit F6 manually, so you know where you are.

If you WEF it, though, you never see the cursor enter that field.

I know I can manually position the browse, but is that all people do
when they do this?  Is there some other way to make clear which field
you're popping up for?

Cheers,
