This of course worked -- I had actually tried this on Friday when
I was stumped, and wrote the list -- I should have taken a coffee
break or something, because the error I was getting was from the
line after those above. D'OH!

So now I have a nice, simple structure -- a loop builds a
scrollable list of CheckButtons and text, and the CheckButton
'clicked' handler common to all buttons can determine which one
was clicked by looking at the button label.


But the result doesn't clarify my task, so I've moved it into a
CList.  But I have a CList question, which I'll post separately :-)
