Quick Name Lookup....
Thank you everyone for responding. I looked at each product recommended and
checked them out.
TapBar looked quite robust, but couldn't get it to recognize any buttons.
This was compounded by the fact that I also couldn't locate any docs on the
product to tell me how to get the buttons recognized.
After evaluating the other products, I decided that Namigator came closest
to meeting my needs. I only wish they had included an option to
automatically dismiss the text box as soon as the Names application loads.
