1. Lot's of stuff going on!
[Win32Help]

I think a back issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal had an article on .hlp file
formats... might want to check the archives at www.ddj.com.
[Splitting Win32Lib]

maybe you could have the core functions in win32lib.ew, then have some
extensions to that (like common dialogs, toolbars, etc) in their own .e
files that Win32Lib includes...?
It might keep your core code uncluttered, and still provide the
functionality we want. This way, people can write their own extensions to
it easily (and contribute them) and not have to hassle
you :)
If this doesn't make any sense, don't worry, just an idea...

Wolfgang is right on this one... X *is* really hard to program for.

I'd have to agree with Irv on this one, Dave ;)
Having one work area like you're talking about will make the screen too
cluttered if you have something big going. And what if you're doing
accounting and need a calculator?
Even though you may not need the maximize/minimize stuff for one project,
that might be exactly what somebody else needs...
