My reason for doing it is that it appears to be the only way I can name the
control myself through a variable value determined by the program at run time. I
need that so I can drive everything from my database.

No, I can't, because I haven't figured out the syntax, yet. But I'm working on
it! Hopefully, somebody will take pity on me and realize that, while I've
received a whole bunch of replies, not a single one includes the syntax and the
framework necessary. 
I can't seem to find an example anywhere in the docs or the demos, or, for that
matter, on the web for adding, say, a list, to a pre-existing window/form/frame.
Plenty of references to newUIObj (well, at least a handful), but no examples
which work on my machine.
But, yes, I can easily populate a sequence with creation parameters by reading
the database which will be pre-loaded with certain information and then modified
on the fly by the program as it runs.
