Got it. So then it's just a matter of knowing the numeric position (starting from zero) of the intended target item.
So I 'spose then this make sense: (Select an item from <ThisControl> into vWhatever) --Capture the Index Number of the Selected Item GETPROPERTY <ThisControl> ITEMINDEX 'vHumpty' --Determine a new value by whatever method SET VAR vHumpty = (.vHumpty + 1) --Use the result to select another item from <ThisControl> PROPERTY <ThisControl> MAKECLICK 'vHumpty' Thanks very much for your help today.

MAKECLICK, as it clearly sounds, means "click", similar to using the "mouse click", without actually clicking on the mouse button, but using the PROPERTY command. When doing so, the intended value of the clicked/selected item in the list is returned to a variable, and the previously defined value, if any, is overwritten. MAKECLICK '0' will select/highlight the first item in the list, if exists MAKECLICK '1' will select/highlight the second item in the list, if exists '99' will select/highlight the 100th item in the list, if exists That should be as easy as 1-2-3!
