Thanks for the heads up Derek,

Changing to getSysColor fixed the drawing issues I noticed awile back.
I was never able to trace the problem down.  I always thought something
funny was up in my drawing routines.

I still have no resolution for the DeleteMenu issue.  It also crashes on
my system, but I do not handle (in my routines) anything regarding the
removal of menus.  I only do processing on the drawing side of things.
I tried a couple of work arounds, but they dont seem to do anything.  Any
clues on what might be causing this?  As soon as this is ironed out I
will post up the fixes...
