I just had a request that stirs the dust balls in my brain. Maybe there really is a solution and I am just not thinking clearly.

He remembers his old terminal had a dup key where he could duplicate fields. He now has a subfile of 5 input capable fields and quite often wants to duplicate the value from the field above.
Is this reasonably possible?
