Would that also apply to being able to type in the first letter and having
it jump in the list to an item that begins with that letter?  That's a
feature I really like about Netscape and IE.  It may be something in the
Windows API though...  I've noticed that space and the page up/page down
keys work in select lists which is very nice (in case others haven't
thought to try these).
