	The 'Programmer's Extender' by Invention Software Corp of Ann Arbor MI
has a NICE set of high-level routines for using the List Manager. Not just
for doing Text lists, but there is also code for doing Icon and Picture lists
and also EDITABLE lists.  Some very nice code all around.  The List Manager
stuff is in their volume 2, or in the Professional Version.
	You can contact Invention Software at (313) 996-8108.

Note: I helped write the 'Extenders' so that I am biased.
