Algorithm for this I see as follows:

list = define_list(Source) ; This is your importation procedure for 16000
list. ; Make sure /ALL_EVENTS, /EDITABLE are set for the text widget.

; The following will be in the event handler for text widget Edit events.
begin
widget_control, Ev.ID, get_value= Search_str
scroll_list = list[where(strpos(list, search_str) ne -1)]
widget_control, scroll_window, set_value=scroll_list
end

Of course, as David recommends, you need at least a widget or compound widget
interface, or maybe even a obget (widject) interface. Although I think those
are worth the time investment if you do more than occasional per-project
programming and will definitely re- use widjects. Cheers, Pavel
