While I use Arwen instead of win32lib, you might be interested in routine F11()
in edita.exw. Your job will be simplified if not getting rid of menus, toobar,
tab bar, file panel, message area, and status bar, like I am. If it is full
screen you want, rather than just reducing frills on a non-maximised window, it
should at least prove that what you want is possible.
