I really just wanted some way to indicate that certain items in a list
were "disabled". Graying them out would be great. This doesn't seem to
be an option. About all I can do is select them or deselect them. What I
ended up with works OK. I replace all spaces in the list text for that
item with "-". This is a reasonable visual cue.
And the program does indeed allow you to sort, delete, rename, etc. the
list items. In my experience, if you just wait David out a day or two,
he'll be unable to restrain himself and will write it himself.
