which is why the number should be highlighted, and the first non-next
character typed would nuke it all. or, if they type A, it would
replace it with ATM, and would only be able to type in "ATM", or "Dep"
or "Debit"

as you type characters, it would narrow the list in the box, right?
also, the list box would only be a certain length, with a scroll bar
on the side. or was that obvious?
