Actually, no, it wasn't helpful. I'd already read that, sacrificed chickens, 
and gone into a trance to try to divine how to apply that information to the 
width of a combo. And failed :-(

It told me how to pack the combo and the label together, but not how to set 
the width of the combo so that it wasn't far wider than the strings that the 
combo holds.
