Update -- Even though there is not a Match Entry First Letter functionality that works as before and as described in the prior post below, I have subsequently found an auto-complete style functionality. When I type CTRL+0 and continue typing the first few letters of the variable -- for instance, "Mac" for "Machine Name," it does come up in the box, and I can insert the variable.

It's been very useful in Frame to type CTRL+0 to get to the variable list and then to type the first lettter of the named variable and cycle through until the desired entry appears for selection. What FM 9 does is bring up the first alphabetically corresponding variable and then present a drop-down. For example, if I choose M, I get Modification Date. In the past, I could then type M a couple of times more and wend my way through the various variables until Machine Name popped up. Now, instead, I have to go hunt for Machine Name in the drop-down list. It's a small thing, but an efficiency. A return to the old behavior, in this case, would be appreciated. Jim
