Thanks Jonas and Jason for your helpful suggestions.  Much appreciated.  
And a special thanks to Euman.  Your wiseguy remark was very 
helpful...Really.  It made me laugh at first, but then it got me on a 
different train of thought, which actually led me to a solution.  It was 
pretty simple, really.  I just stored the items in the ListView as a 
sequence, deleted the item I wanted removed, erased the items in the 
ListView, and reinserted the sequence minus the deleted item.

Thanks again to all of you.
