The reason I use bogus flags is because of the Modal property. Otherwise,
I'd just map the constants like so:

   constant
    Minimize = SW_SHOWMINIMIZED,
    Maximize = SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED

If I make the Modal constant -1, then I can change openWindow to accept
regular Win32 flags. I'll look into this.

SettingModal as a property in openWindow is probably a bit of a mistake; it
reflects a class of window instead of a display property. I should instead
have set up seperate classes of windows, such as Window, Dialog, Palette,
MDI and so on. Creating a modal window would become:

   constant MyModal = create( Dialog, ... )
