	You're right, the picture is a bad example...or rather, a good example of a 
bad UI. I selected it only because it was a graphical display of something 
*similar* to what I was thinking.

	Actually, I was thinking of using a listview for selecting an entry from a 
list. I'm not sure a second listview would look nice with the data clipped, 
or even whole--I'm having nightmares of Window's regedit here! ;> I'll

	Sigh. :) Guess I'd better start those college courses, books, and MS Visual 
Studio, then. Does Visual Studio run under Wine? ;>
