- I don't think it would be hard to do an XView multi-column scrolling list
- if you didn't want users to be able to select individual cells,
- only entire tables. And even that would be useful.
- I tried to get something working with multiple scrolling lists, but the
- XView scrollbars are so buggy that I gave up.
- F'r example, if you make them invisible w/ XV_SHOW set to false, they still
- work when you click on the place where they ``aren't''! Sigh.
