It rhymes with "loonie", not "money." 2. Magic parameters in create. The parameters are: create( class, caption, parent, x, y, width, height, flags ) In "My First Program", you specify parent = 0. That means that the window has no parent; it's the primary window. x=Default and y=Default means you don't care where Windows places the window. Rather than have seperate createWindow/createButton/createMenu routines, I have a single create routine. In some cases, certain parameters don't make sense, like x, y, width and height in menus. Because create *always* takes 8 parameters, for things like menus, you just pass zeros in those fields, because the values are ignored anyway. I hope this clarifies things a bit. Good luck with the tutorial! -- David Cuny
