These are some of the really nice parts of VC++/MFC. 

John, I'd recommend that you read up on these, and all their
permutations (CMapStringToOb, CMapWordToOb, CMapWordToPtr, or whatever
else there is...). They essentially implement linked lists and hash
tables for you. Very sleek. Very easy to use. Very nice.

These list-based objects, as Blake indicated, do not do all kinds of
"automatic" memory allocation/deallocation for you - but you *could*
subclass one of them, or you could write your own object which
utilizes one of these lists within itself, and does all the list
access and memory management for you.

I'm not entirely clear on what you mean here. Do you mean something
like this?:

void CSomeObject::MakeNewListMember(CLinkedList *list)
{
 CMyObject	*object = new CMyObject;
 CNewObject	*newObject = object->MakeANewGuy();

 list->AddToTail(newObject);
}
