I need to display a (possibly) long list of read-only data in column form, with 
user-resizeable columns. I first considered a table, but I would need to format 
and keep all the data into ready to display static strings. So instead, I chose 
a list, as recommended in the Palm OS Programming Guide for read-only data. 
Only drawbacks: the scroll arrows get drawn within the list and the list is 
surrounded by a frame, which doesn't invite to horizontal scrolling (if need 
be). So in the end, if these drawbaks cannot be circumvented (can they?), a 
gadget seems more appropriate, despite the added burden of handling scrolling 
and row selection. The code recipes I found so far (Palm Source) are pretty 
basic.

Suggestions and/or examples would thus make a great virtual Xmas gift ;)
