For those of you who are using a wheel mouse, it is possible to set up
Windows so that a depression of the wheel causes the same action as the
depression of F3. It is very handy to move your cursor to a new field
and depress the wheel to cause the previous entry to be filled in. If
you don't know how to set up the wheel in Windows, let me know and I'll
try to resurrect how to do it.
