Thanks, Kent, I'm glad I asked.

The keystroke, by the way,  appears to be Control Shift T, not Control Alt
T,  on my XP system running the Development Viewer.

I'd like to replace the Focus, Move, Edit, Create, and Land buttons with a
list, I suppose a combo_box, to save horizontal space.  How does one do
that?
