Derek,

No, that's not it, (I think), the size seems to be working automatically and
just fine, as each new list of items is put into the second list on choosing
a category from the first, the first element of that list shows up in the
"edit" portion of the second; if the user *clicks* on that displayed
element, *then* the list "unfolds" to show all elements, and it does so just
fine, it's a big box for many items, and a small box for few. It's the
"unfolding" I'm trying to cause programmatically as soon as an item
(category) is clicked on in the first.

My ISP is doing maintenance & will stop sending me email in about a half
hour.

Dan
