> Hello, I am using ADD_STRING attribute in list_item to update its contents.
                    ^^^^^^^^^^

	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).
