Ah, yes, you need to define your own AbstractDataModel and use one of the
other JList constructors.  It didn't occur to me to ask which constructor
you were using.   Have you checked Sun's tutorial pages for JList?  It
isn't really that difficult to create a model of your own.  I've made 
several at work so far.
