I'd create maybe 200 buttons, and change their labels, positions and
meanings whenever the vscroll of the menu changes.
Something (very vaguely) like
on scrollHasChanged
put the vScroll of grp "sectionMenu" into temp
put temp div 23 into startLine
repeat with i = 1 to 200
put format("B%03i", i) into tName
set the top of button tName to startLine + 23*i
set the label of button tName to line startLine + i of gAllMyLabels
....
end repeat
end scrollHasChanged

What a nuisance:
There I was, merrily churning through the button titles for my Unicode
Reference thing
[ http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=29069 ] which needed
at least 1600 buttons
that were 23 pixels deep layered underneath each other.
What happens?
At the "Magic Number" of 32xxx I get a "this is not a number" message.
As a result I ended up restricted to 1400 buttons.
This is very bad as the Unicode glyph tables are many, and in an ideal
world
I'd like 8703 buttons. But 8703 * 23 = 200169
That would involve groupig a "stack" of buttons that was 200169 pixels
high.
Would be grateful if anyone knows a way to circumvent the limitation.
Richmond.
