That's exactly is the problem.  Thanks for reformulating it for me :-)

Actually, what happens sometime is, that the 3-rd character is placed inside 
the displayed buffered address, so that one has to go back there and manually 
edit the address.  The whole process is MUCH slower than if the whole address 
would have to be typed in its entirety.
