          suppose the parts list for a widget has 52 entries..."
       
          2. [possibly evoking "window gadget"] In graphical user
          interfaces, a combination of a graphic symbol and some program
          code to perform a specific function.  E.g. a scroll-bar or

          containing commonly used widgets drawn in a certain style and
          with consistent behaviour.
