I agree totally with your point, but really.... Don't go holding your breath
for this to be implemented.... PalmSource surely know about this issue, but
I'm sure they've put it down to "you can work around it if you really need
to".

I see your point about popup lists, and I'll say again, you can fake it by
not using a popup list, but providing the same functionality with a normal
list....... But who want to do that huh?
