I'll have to try fiddling with that. (Of course it would mean typing more digits--after 166 books today I'm beginning to hurt.)

Last night, I happened to be talking to Colin Smythe (Terry P's agent, but also a publisher) who has software that really saves typing - it works by the operator typing the first three letters of the first word of a title, the first two of the second, when paperwork comes in.

It's much more tedious when only the ISBN is shown, and he's not wonderfully keen about the extension to 13 keystrokes.

Yes, I was a little surprised not to see the previous one, but then realised what had happened. I might do it myself.
