Weird! I could have sworn I tested this, but you're right. A fix
is needed in two places.

In "clientToClient()" replace ...

VOID = w32Func( xClientToScreen, { getHandle( id2 ), pt } )

    -- convert from screen space
    VOID = w32Func( xScreenToClient, { getHandle( id1 ), pt } )

with ...

VOID = w32Func( xClientToScreen, { getHandle( id1 ), pt } )

    -- convert from screen space
    VOID = w32Func( xScreenToClient, { getHandle( id2 ), pt } )

and in "createMouseTrap()" replace ...

pRect[1..2] = clientToClient(lRelId, pWindow, pRect[1..2])
    pRect[3..4] = clientToClient(lRelId, pWindow, pRect[3..4])

with ...

pRect[3..4] -= pRect[1..2]
    pRect[1..2] = clientToClient(lRelId, pWindow, {0,0})
    pRect[3..4] = clientToClient(lRelId, pWindow, pRect[3..4])

Now this one you can't blame on me. Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom,
have decided that you can't set the TOPMOST flag via the normal method.
Instead you need to change the Z-Order. Use this ...

moveZOrder(w, HWND_TOPMOST)

instead of this ...

addStyle(w,{0,WS_EX_TOPMOST})

Why did MS do that? Who knows!!!

I guess I could detect somebody trying to do it the normal way 
and silently do it correctly for them.
