Sergey,

There are several ways of doing autocompletion.

I don't like the implementation in Delphi.

And it's not usefull for my goal:

I want to introduce a computer in some complex medical examination,

the (para-)medics should concentrate on the patient, and not on the

keyboard.

I good example, that can work in practice, is the "autocorrect" feature

in Word:

You've a list of say 100 .. 200 words and there user abbreviation, like

   mw = Microsoft Word

   m$ = one of Bills products

when I type

   mw is m$.

as soon as I've typed a word, and type a space or period, the word is

looked up in the table and replaced, so I end up with

   Microsoft Word is one off Bills products.

The reason for not using Word, is that other parts are already in

RichView (both for editing and report generation). The nice thing of

RichView is that it can "easily" adapted to the specific needs at a

certain workplace.
