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.

Andy
