How about using the Table widget.  This is the perfect use.  It's
got some bugs right now involving geometry management when used with
Motif (it does not shrink nicely anymore).  Kee claims to be working 
on it, so I am not ;^)

Table can be had from Kee or within the Wcl distribution from 
expo.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/Wcl1_04.tar.Z
