Thanks!  That does it (at least for the entries, column widths are of
lesser importance).

My only complaint (whine?) now is that the documentation for this is pretty
much missing.  Didn't see any reference to this on the wxpython mailing
lists, either.

Ah, but now a search yields something from the Hammond book on programming
python for win32, Ch 20:

	"For the report mode, you insert an item for the first
                 column and then set values for the remaining columns."
	[ shows some code, too ]

Too bad the book focuses on win32 stuff, and relatively little about
wxpython, AFAICT.

Thanks again...
