Andy: I think this is what you mean.
include win32lib.ew
constant Win = create( Window, "", 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, 0 )
WinMain( Win, Normal )

2. RE: Minimizing to the taskbar - how?
I was going to ask about the systray myself this week, but got busy, so
you just saved me the trouble :)
Anyway, I downloaded the most recent tutorial from
http://www.king.igs.net/~wolfritz/tutor.htm
and found the systray icon code inside of \demos\sysinfo2.exw.
But it seems to be incomplete (no menus or rt-click actions, but these
could be faked by trapping events, I think) and more importantly, the
tooltip only showed the first letter of the text that should have
appeared on the tip. I tried a few things but am kinda in the dark as
too how to fix that.
Any suggestions?

3. RE: Minimizing to the taskbar - how?
That is IT!!!! Many many thanks to you, PatRat (I'm sure that
doesn't sound very complimentary!) - your include module and the
example did EXACTLY what I wanted in EVERY detail.
I shall now examine the rest of your website for other exciting gems!
I was right, I notice, though. Minimizing to the taskbar is easy;
minimizing to the System Tray (got the terminology right this time?)
is a fairly major task. Why oh why couldn't Mr W, Gates lot allow a
WM_MINIMIZETOSYSTRAY type message on the lines of WM_MINIMIZE?
Ah well, ours not to reason why. Ours to use Euphoria to make it go!
Thank you again VERY much.
