- I think that what they mean by a "multi-window" application is one which has
- more than one window on the same document. It is not a very common thing to do
- but I know programs like Illustrator allow you to look at your drawing in more
- than one window.

- As for scrolling lists, CArrayPane does an excellent job of implementing them.
- Basically, CArrayPane is a one-column table that has a CArray associated with it
- that contains the actual data to display.

- Hope this brief explanation helps,
