QUESTION:                                                                       
Using the XmCreateScrolledList function of Xwindows I've found that             
OVER A PERIOD OF TIME MY SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DEGRADES.  IT APPEARS               
TO BE RELATED TO THE FACT THAT ALL DATA PASSED TO THE SCROLLED                  
LIST IS MAINTAINED BY THE SYSTEM.  IS THERE A FEATURE OF THE                    
SCROLL SUPPORT THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO FLUSH OUT THE CONTENTS OF                  
THE SCROLLED DATA OR LIMIT THE SIZE TO WHICH IT WILL GROW.  I'VE                
SEARCHED INFO EXPLORER AND HAVE FOUND NO ANSWERS.                               
                                                                                
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------                
A: The XmCreateScrolledList function creates an instance of a List              
widget in a scrolled window widget.  To control or flush out the                
contents of the List widget, you may use one or more of the following           
functions:                                                                      
                                                                               
   XmListDeleteAllItems                                                         
   XmListDeleteItem                                                             
   XmListDeleteItems                                                            
   XmListDeleteItemsPos                                                         
   XmListDeletePos                                                              
   XmListDeselectAllItems                                                       
                                                                                
   The use of these functions is documented in the Technical Reference:         
User Interface, Volume 6 (SC23-2387-01).  There is not a function that          
will set a limit to the size to which the List widget will grow.
