More option control anomalies on Windows

In addition to the oddities noted here:

...I now have a tougher challenge:

On Windows it's customary to allow navigation of the popup menu in an 
option control by typing the first letter of an item in that menu.

So for example if the popup contains:

    Ken
    Jacque
    Jeanne
    Richard

...then typing "r" will select "Richard", and typing "k" will select 
"Ken".  While the user is navigating the menu it remains popped up, 
until either cancelled with the Escape key or confirmed with the Enter key.

Apparently Rev doesn't support this.

Arghhh.

How does one provide this common functionality via script?
