Leviathan,

I think creating windows is similar to having to create procedures or
functions before you can call them: the interpreter has to *know* about them
before you can *use* them, but *creating* them doesn't immediately invoke
them.

So, if I understand this correctly, the act of creating a window *in your
program* doesn't at that time put that window on the screen; you have to
"openWindow" to do that, and you can do that whenever it is appropriate in
your program.

So it shouldn't be any problem at all to "create" your error window at the
beginning of your program, just don't *use* it until you need to, right??
