I thought that this rang a bell.  In the OpenWindows 1.0 manual set, I 
found "XView 1.0 Reference Manual: Summary of the XView API", which doesn't
seem to be in the 1.0.1 or 2.0 manual set.  (It is 277 pages long- not the
same as the 157 page "XView Version 2 Reference Manual: Converting SunView
Applications".)

PANEL_LIST_CHOOSE_NONE is briefly described in section 3.21 Panel List
Attributes, and in Chapter 4-Summary Tables.

I have no clue whatever why this is no longer in the manual set, but I'm
sure glad that I never throw anything away!  Of course, how much has changed
between XView 1.0 and Version 2, I've no idea.
