Subject: is it possible to create a string with *parts* of it colored (red)?

I want to create a list of strings that users can browse and select from,
and I want the first couple of characters to be RED or YELLOW so that the most
important items stand out.  For example:

 *C	Thu May 30 08:26:30 EDT 1991	THIS IS A CRITICAL MESSAGE!
^^^	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RED	Black letters on a white background
BG &
White
Letters


I really need to have a list of these.  I'm currently doing something with
separate push-buttons, different foreground and background colors, and
shadowThickness = 0.  It does not meet all my needs.  Is there some way I can
do this in a List widget?
All suggestions are welcome.

Thank you,
Wayne Scott
