You've fixed your first question with what you said in the
add_list_element. You can't expect program variables in one SESSION to
be available to another SESSION, unless you're firing the new session
from within an 'outer' program, which could hold global variables (this
is probably rubbish, just thinking out loud!).
You would need to write the comb-box data to a table and then populate the combo next time from that table.
