have a combo box remember

Hi

I would like to have a combo box remember the last, say 10, entries that a
user has made in it and to offer those as choices, while accepting any new
entry - similar to the search box in google.

Could someone tell me how to enable this functionality or how to code it?

Thanks

Doug
