Despite some people's occasional success, Win32Lib still does *not*
handle multiple windows, primarily for the reason that you have cited.

In general, the unloadWindow() function should not be used. Instead,
hideWindow() needs to be called. None of the windows should be destroyed
until the application is closed.

The problem, of course, is that the window is destroyed when you click
the close button on the frame. I need to trap that behavior, and replace
it with hiding the window.

I hope to have Win32Lib reloaded on my machine some time this weekend
(I'm slowly recovering from losing my hard drive), and I'll start
working on the multiple window issues, along with the modal problems.

Thanks!
