I'm using the List Manager to manage a single column of data.  Vertical
scrolling works great, scrolling one cell at a time with the arrows or
a page in the page down area.  Horizontal scrolling doesn't seem to
work the way I'd expect/hope.  If the list's view rectangle is smaller
than the cell width, I thought the List Manager would permit horizontal
scrolling to see the remainder of the cell.  Instead, it appears to
scroll one whole cell width, which ends up displaying blank space because
there is only one column.

Ideally, I'd like to set the "number of pixels to scroll" for this scroll
bar, but of course there is no such field defined.  The only way I can
think of to do this is to replace the scroll action procedure for the
horizontal scroll bar.  Is this the preferred way? the only way? something
I REALLY don't want to do?

Thanks for the help,
