Cheesed off by 32xxx

[Curry Kenworthy]

Howdy Richmond,

Wise man do many things with few buttons. Elite master use single field. 
That is the true path to LC enlightenment, avoiding all unnecessary 
sorrows in coding and interface.

Having said that, you specifically asked for a way to circumvent the 32k 
pixel limitation for positioning. That should be possible. (And doubly 
worth mentioning because it could apply to other situations with fewer, 
but larger, controls.)

If you split the 1600 controls into two groups rather than one, and add 
a little special code to swap them smoothly while scrolling....

Thus you would never need 8703 buttons on top of each other. However, 
the same is true of the 1600 or the 800. It's a fun exercise and a great 
test of LC's limits and performance, but a different approach will be 
more efficient.

Very nice topic for an app, I love Unicode tables! Very handy.

Best wishes,

Curry K.
