I am knocking a little app together at work with a view to expanding
features in the future.

It's intended for a garage/workshop for booking customers jobs in.

I want to control the whole thing with function keys and cursor keys. I have
got something working but I want to show a undetailed list of current jobs
and then be able to scroll up and down the list with a highlight bar, using
ENTER to select a record then bring that record up in detail. Then after
amending, viewing or deleting, close the record and show my list again.

Whats the best way of doing this, ideally my undetailed list should be a
fixed sized list of say 20 one line records even if there are only 10 to
list or 100. If there are more than the 20 then as the highlight bar reaches
the bottom the whole list should scroll up one line revealing the next
record. I would like it if the highlight bar was inverse.

Cheers! Simon
