Well, set things up so that when the user starts the program up, the
dropdowns are still there, and not blank.  They're entries where it's
pretty much the same picklist all the time, so you type it in once, then
just pick it the rest of the time.  In this app, it probably won't grow to
more than a dozen entries.

Right, and the new entry obviously isn't part of the list then, so the list
isn't complete.

I seem to have solved the problem by doing a self.update() in the "command"
callback, that seems to work so that when the <FocusOut> happens, the
dropdown list is complete, and I can shelve it.

Thanks anyway, and Happy New Year.
