It's passed in to the init function in wxPython; so the limitations apply 
equally to wxPython direct as to PythonCard.

The limitation is that you can't change the "heading-ness" of the list - 
whatever it is when the list is created, so it remains. So if Kevin changes 
Pythoncard to allow this to be specified, you'll need to specify it the way 
you want in the resource editor - it won't be possible to leave headings 
off in the resource editor, and later add them from within the script, or 
vice versa. (Of course, you'll be able to leave them *blank* in the 
resource editor, and have the script supply the values, but not to change 
their existence.)
