Fritz,

Ok, I'm not that surprised that I created a strange child :) , but your
simple solution is too simple; when I asked for a solution "other than
creating it where there is nothing to copy", I should have added "and
without having to make everything on the parent window be not visible or not
there", because that's what I really meant.

So, if the window I created was "strange", then how could I create a child
window that *isn't* strange, which wouldn't copy stuff (any stuff) from the
parent?

Dan

ps. I couldn't find win32.hlp???
