Actually, it isn't too bad.  I assume the callbask() is used by the 
lbshell?  I have not looked to see, but I guess it has to have some 
immediate purpose.

The only thing that I would like to see is the option to have a longer 
list than there are lines to display it.  So say there are 15 items in the 
list, but only 8 lines to the bottom of the screen (or I explicitly limit 
it to an 8-line display) then 8 lines will be displayed, and if the cursor 
moves to the bottom and beyond, the eight lines roll up, eliminating line 
#1 at the top, and revealing line #9 at the bottom.

Yes, it is non-trivial, and there isn't much reward for doing it, but it 
would allow an application to control how much of the screen was to be 
clobbered by the lightbar list.  Also, it would allow you to set the 
number of lines to ONE and just have a rolling value.  Hmmm... perhaps a 
separate type of object would be better than using a maximally collapsed 
lightbar list?  Probably.
