The List widget contains a list of strings formatted into rows and
columns. When one of the strings is selected, it is highlighted, and the
List widget's <function>Notify</function> action is invoked, calling all routines on
its callback list.  Only one string may be selected at a time.

Many programmers create a <quote>scrolled list</quote> by putting a List
widget with many entries as a child of a Viewport widget.  The
List continues to create a window as big as its contents, but
that big window is only visible where it intersects the parent
Viewport's window.  (I.e., it is <quote>clipped.</quote>)

While this is a useful technique, there is a serious drawback.
X does not support windows above 32,767 pixels in width or
height, but this height limit will be exceeded by a List's
window when the List has many entries (i.e., with a 12 point
font, about 3000 entries would be too many.)
