Matt,

Thanks, that's a viable suggestion, & I may have to do it that way, as it
would appear that the IDE won't let me make a super-sized window that would
hold all the groups.  (Well, I can MAKE a big window, I just can't scroll
down it to add things in it.)

Of course, I'd rather just do it within IDE.
