Well, I still don't have my vertical scroll bar.  I tried setting the dialog
id to 5000, as Joe suggested, but this didn't help.  I also tried increasing
the extra memory for the temporary app to 2Mb and reducing the size of the
list box.  None of this helped.  I'm still open to ideas.  BTW, I'm using a
Powerbook G3 running OS 8.6 and am using a recent beta of FB^3.

This was a good idea, Joe, and reminded me to set the resFile back to the
app's resfile, but it didn't solve the problem.

Believe it or not, I create the list in the dialog box and can select an item
from the choices that are visible.  The only thing missing is the scroll bar.

I appreciate your suggestion, but I'm already doing all of this and have
already checked Mars' examples.  I can even get a horizontal scroll bar by
setting that parameter to _true.  The only thing I can't get is the vertical
scrollbar.
