You certainly were a catalyst. But the actual implementation of requests
will probably be handled through a SendMessage sort of mechanism.

When I post the alpha (don't hold 'yer breath), I'm sure you'll have lots of
good suggestions to make. It won't be your fault if I continue merrily on my
wayward path of doom and destruction.

Thanks for all the submittals. I've still got to figure out how to convert
'logical' units (which the functions return) into pixel units. I've picked
up a couple used Win32 graphics booksl to study, and am re-reading Petzold.

The other problem with the code is indirect: one of my kids did a 'happy
dance' on my keyboard and broke it. The double-quote key on the backup
keyboard doesn't work.

Great!

The emulated controls are partly your fault - I saw your progress bar, and
realized that there was no easy way to incorporate it into Win32Lib.

Thanks again.
