I'm attempting to use the List Manager, from within a dialog, to implement a 
one-column list of text cells.  The length of the list can vary, with items 
being deleted and added at any point within the list.  

My problem is that I'm unable to get the cell ID of the currently-selected
item.  I'm convinced I'm adding data to the list correctly list correctly 
(dataBounds for the list looks okay), but if I try LLast to get the point, it 
doesn't work.  If, on the other hand, I use LGetSelect, the numbers are too 
high (but not by much, which raises the maddening question of whether I'm 
installing the data correctly).  

I also need to know, ABSOLUTELY, whether an item is selected or not.  

This is my first tangle with the List Manager.  If anyone has any suggestions
or advice (or code! :-)), I'd appreciate hearing them.  I need to get this 
problem solved ASAP, but am starting to think it'd be easier to write my own 
List Manager from scratch.
