You still need to know the decimal number.
I did think about searching the text list somehow.

Maybe if the input wasn't numeric, all the entries that matxh the
text (case insignificant) could be displayed with their number
(to some maximum) and then reprompt.
An exact match could be put straight in.

Maybe next week...
