Details:

If I have a large list of names to be in the list dialog box
listdlg("ListString", {LargeList}) 
I am unable to scroll in this list, even though the data goes off the bottom
of the page.

I'm sorry, I modified the file, but I think it was line 555 of
JDialogBox.java

m_List = new JList (lst);


I tried
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
m_List = new JList (lst);
scrollPane.setViewportView(m_List);

but that either didn't work or it didn't get implemented correctly.

I feel I was on the right path, just not quite there though.
