^^^^^^^^^^
Do you mean PANEL_LIST_STRING? There is no attribute called "ADD_STRING"
that I know of.

(1) See XV_SHOW. Set XV_SHOW to false, update the list, set XV_SHOW
to true. Reduces flicker and speeds up the whole insertion.
(2) PANEL_LIST_STRING takes a row-number so you can install them
one at a time. If you want to dynamically construct an "arg list",
then see XVPM 25.2.2.1 "Attribute Lists within Attribute Lists".
Both of these are/should-be in the OPEN LOOK FAQ. These questions
get more requests than Quarter-Pounders at McDonalds (being PC here
with Clinton-gastronomics).
