The key '?' is already taken (help screen) in another >context, and 'a' is valid hex. Would 'x' be acceptable? I'd like 0x to mean hex and blanking out the 0x prompt to work. Then entering a blank field could mean "auto"/"none". You could still use "?" unless you want to introduce help in editing context. It would be as natural for Del to delete fields as well drivers (i.e., unnatural :-). Del is fairly useless as an editing key (unless the Backspace key generates it) since the field editor is so primitive that Del is equivalent to Backspace. Brucehome | help
