	The way I did it (in the THINK Pascal Project Utilities, in case you
want to see how it looks) is to set up the list with *no* horizontal scrollbar,
and provide my own; the action for this scrollbar scrolls the list
horizontally, and my custom LDEF takes care of compensating for the offset
of the scrollbar.

	Fairly straightforward, but not a solution that leaps easily to mind.
