I have a listbox with about 700 items. It would be nice to move about
the list by typing more than just the first character (the default).
Any clues?

Thanks for any help.

Try making it a combo-box with an edit control, trap changes 
in the edit control's text and do a search on it re. the help
system. If the user clicks on an actual selection, put that
text in the edit box
