I'm running version 5.14. The description auto-completes to match the last similar entry. I don't get a list to choose from. I have been hesitant to upgrade to a newer version, since installing this version was such a mess and I didn't have time or patience for another bout of the same. If upgrading will get me what I need, then I will go for it. Frank Miller, PE
