I agree with Andrew, I think this is hopeless.
We need someone to write us a "list editor" for
this kind of thing. As you select items they are
transferred to the "selected" side in another list.
You can move items back and forth, delete items, add
items, etc.
Do we have a volunteer? I can't guarantee riches,
but fame is certain.
Cheers,
David

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.
