The Palm answer for long entries in a list is to crop the entry and use an
ellipsis to notify the user there is more to the entry.  If you are using a
pop trigger, you can make that larger and when the item is selected, show
the as much of the string as the screen will allow.
Another option is to place a multi-line field below the list and when the
item is selected, show the whole string.
