Check the Win32Lib docs for:

openWindow()
showWindow()
closeWindow()

assumed that when the window is closed, WinMain() returns and execution
resumes.  That's where I close the database.  I tried to use a second
WinMain() to open another window and found that it didn't work.  Then I
found WinMain is documented that when it closes, the application also
closes.  I tried openDialog, which says it activates handlers and waits for
input.  It doesn't.  It flashes the window on the screen and closes it
immediately.

user types in the EditText field and clicks an "OK" button (or presses
Enter).  The window closes and if the password was correct, the main
application window opens.  (Has anyone seen example code?)  I'm not asking
someone to write this for me, just give me some hints as to what functions
to use.
