Yes, the problem is this part of the finger program:

	while((dest = prompt("User (user@hostname)")) != null) {
		.	.	.
	}

What you need is some way to know if the prompt() entry was terminated 
with a regular <ENTER> key or with something else like <TAB>, <ESC>, <F1>, 
or so forth.  So if you type

	.nodelist<ENTER>

the code knows to produce the local node list, but if you type

	.nodelist<TAB>

the code knows to pop up the picklist, and so forth.  I've not yet worked 
out how to do that.
