Oops. Granted. Yes, I failed to point out that the solution posted is indeed
a set of lists, rather than literal pull-down menus. However the lists ARE
scrollable, ie a list of any length can be displayed in a box of a lesser
number of rows (theoretically can do it with one row, but its asthetically
easier to make selections if the list box is minimum 3 rows long). The
difference in user-feel between a pulldown list and scrollable lists as
described is minor, and the multiple-selection scrollable list provides a
viable solution to a real problem I encountered. Its just possible it might
also be a solution for other users with multiple-selection needs. It certainly
does not depend on use of the GuiBuilder to implement it - but I have a kinky
philosophy whereby I prefer to avoid programming in Assembly language if
Fortran is available.

Regards,
Michael Asten
