Oh noes, replying to myself, bad Internet form!

Thought to those that code better than I (I only deal
with text, hehe):

I see that, quite smartly, the station list dialog is
rather generic and the data used to populate it is
determined by the menu choice.  What about generating
a window with a different handle (so that other
station lists could be brought up separately) and then
the station list is populated by comparing stations to
a user's 'budlist' of sorts as a new flag condition? 
Then a person could build up a bud list (whether by
GUI or by text file) and the stations would be on the
list.

Of course this would probably mean some kind of
callback in the station list dialog that could
actually bring up the station info dialog when the
station is clicked.  Or maybe it would be sufficient
to leave the current operation of centering on the map
and then bring up the station info via the context
menu as per usual.
