Abstract
A subset list is created from a superset list in a graphical user interface. The subset list is presented in a vertical format with each item on the list on a separate line. Vertical and horizontal scrollbars make the list easy to use. The subset list items selected on the superset list continue to show as selected and appear each time the superset list window is opened. Thus, only additions or deletions from the subset list must be addressed. Those entries on the subset list that are to remain the same do not have to be re-selected on the superset list.
