i have used an achoice user function to implement a menu where if you press
a letter key (a,b,c etc.) the highlight jumps to the next choice that starts
with that letter.  however, i've been trying for a month or so to do the
same with tbrowse and it doesn't work for s**t.  since you've obviously done
better with tbrowse than me, could you give me some pointers?

thanx in advance.
