Up/Down Arrow Key prompts

[Bob @ MidCity Office]

George

Thanks for the arrow tips, there very usefull to me. I used the "ra" with
show(@ro, at co) to point at the current input field, for those users who can't
seem to follow the blinking cursor.

@wef*
Then: show(@ro, at co-"3") ra

@wlf*
Then: show(@ro, at co-"3") "  "

Thanks
Bob Simcoe
