I suspect the reason the List Manager wants a window pointer when a
list is created is that it has to tell the window about its scroll
bar. A way to get around this is to not draw the list until you need
it. (Passing FALSE in the parameter DrawIt when you create the
list.) Then, when you are done adding elements to it, use the LDoDraw
call to turn drawing on, and call LUpdate to actually cause it to
draw.

Have fun,
