Subject: New to AS Studio - pop-up list populating?

Greetings!
I've been scripting in AppleScript since it first shipped oh so many
years ago, and some members of the AS list may remember me. Now I'm
finally getting around to working in AS Studio and finding that I'm
having a couple problems in finding the documentation & info I need
to do what I want. I think I understand the handlers in general
(specific questions may be forthcoming), but I keep hitting certain
little work-stopages that are infuriating (similar to when I first
started out with AS in general).
Today's annoyance is trying to figure out how to populate the data
values for a drop-down list. I am trying to build the interface for
an already existing script that builds eBay listings for me
(currently through dialog boxes), and want to be able to have the
user select a weight in lbs (valid range 0 to 70) out of either a
combo box or pop-up/drop-down list. For the life of me, I can't
figure out how to populate the list values for the drop-down... the
examples in the Apple dev docs show samples in C and Java, but not in
AS.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Sincerely Yours
