    Demo - Add and "Delete" Rows from a window

    This is cut-down version of the Fed-Ex package tracking demo

    The purpose is to show a technique for making windows that grow by clicking an "Add Row" button
    Each row can be individually "deleted".

    The reason for using the quotes are "deleted" is that the elements are simply hidden.  The effect is the same as deleting them.
