Thanks Irv,

That does seem interesting, & I noticed something else that at least looks
similar to your observation: a 'messagebox' seems to be a "modal task",
like a modal window, but when I click on an "about" menu choice that
displays a message box in programs developed using Win32Lib, that box ALSO
does NOT add a icon onto the task bar.  And if there's no way to minimize
the modal window, then that works around the problem.  So what determines
if a task is put on the taskbar??
