Sure, I'm already using this for the midi instrument names (which would be 3 
pages otherwise).

Of course one could filter out all strings starting with "grey" or "gray", but 
it's still 14 pages aftr that,,, So, unless there is a way to easily generate 
a three-column layout where text automatically flows to the second/third 
column, it is still way too long...
Of course, one might simply use only the first 50 entries or so to hightlight 
the way to do it.

Cheers,
Reinhld
