  Thank you, Emmanuel, I forgot about that. Now I need to understand them
all.

  Sigh. I was hoping to not write my own. I thought that with all sorts of
data entry front ends out there, someone would have already invented the
wheel.:-)

  Why a widget? If I call a C function wouldn't that run faster? I suppose
that I'd also have to have a table with masks for each field and do the
comparison against the applicable mask for each character entered in the
field. Groan! This looks like a major project in itself!

  Anyone want to help?
