        Ha, ha!  That was *not* the answer I was expecting from you!   
      
        I have been wondering what I have been missing about it.   
      
        The form is a violation of the Law of Least Astonishment.  It   
   does not appear, at first glance, that one can type in one's own   
   choice.  Now that I know, it is not such a deal.   
      
        Do you know how to remove a choice from the list?  I once had   
   some bogus entries get added, and I wanted to get rid of them.   
      
   Sincerely,
