Hi Euman,
could you give me a little more detail please.=20

  the program doesnt like -1 (negative numbers)
  running the mouse_pointer to the top of the tool
  bar you will run into -1 which will crash the system.
I don't really understand what this sentence is saying? What exactly =
does "running the mouse_pointer" mean? Does it mean manually moving the =
mouse device? Or does it mean programatiically setting the position of =
the mouse pointer? Can you give me a sample code that demonstrates the =
problem you have found? If you have a correction, then please forward it =
to me or the list so I can incorporate it into future releases. Does the =
problem happen only with compiled code or does it also happen with the =
Euphoria interpreter? What does the phrase "you will run into -1" mean? =
Is this a return value of some function? If so which one?

  Subject: Win32Lib Bug


  I found something interesting when I compiled
  toolbar that came with win32lib v.54

  the program doesnt like -1 (negative numbers)
  running the mouse_pointer to the top of the tool
  bar you will run into -1 which will crash the system.

  I have started the learning curve associated
  with win32lib and will try to correct this myself
  just thought the rest of you should know about=20
  the bug.....hopefully this hasn't been reported yet
  and I'm not beating a dead horse...
