As you come to a Place field, you have four options:
-- Enter the place information from the keyboard.
-- Press <F3> to have TMG place the last data entered into this
field. Repeated pressing of <F3> will cause the next previous unique entry
to be placed in the field up to 15 unique entries.
-- Press <Ctrl>+<F3> to display the last 15 unique entries and
select the one desired for entry into the field.
-- Press <F2> to display a list of all previously entered entries
and select the desired ne from this list.

If you press <F2> from a lower level field (e.g., Detail as opposed to high
level field like Country), the list will contain each unique set of entries
for current _and_ the following fields. The Repeat hot-keys (<F3> and
<Ctrl>+<F3>) will only give the specific entries for the current field.

Personally, after getting used to these features, I prefer them over other
similar features.
