Thanks Jim, that's a good idea I hadn't thought of. But I'd say it does
have some excess overhead by duplicating code in the program.
Also, actually these ellipsis characters are used only in a single
general function similar to WinDrawTruncChars, which is in turn called
by my list/table callback in about a dozen places. So any of these
solutions gets messy fast.
Hopefully David will just say it's safe to use the 3 dot string "..."
and be done with it. Even though that's a wee bit slower than using a
single character, it would be an appropriate trade-off in my situation.
