	My thanks for all the suggestions.  One of you 
referred to CCFL tubes.  I am not familiar with them unless they are
those little fluorescent tubes that are found in portable lanterns.  I
remember almost buying a bunch once at a ham fest because the seller
only wanted ten Cents a piece for them and it occurred to me at the
time that one could make a sign with them, but I had a
huge stack of stuff all ready along those same lines so I passed them
by.:-)

	They are probably a bit longer than necessary for this
application, but several of the other displays mentioned in
this thread sound like just the thing.
