Ton,

A few weeks ago I shared a stack that lets you type ahead to find a  
name in a scrolling list. I've posted it now on RevOnline as Type  
Ahead Search, under user devin.

Coincidentally, I also noticed that in the revOnline stack itself  
there is a nifty type-to-filter feature that might do just what you  
want. I was able to access its scripts by opening Revolution Online  
from the Development menu, then typing into the message box:
   toplevel stack "revonlineViewer 1"
Then
   edit the script of cd "rvcUsers"

Look at the rawKeyDown and updateUsersDisplay handlers.
