Brian,

This is the same kind of thing I was referring to in an earlier post!  Glad
someone else noticed it too. :)

I said:

"One possible problem to look out for with regard to style setting for
windows, unless Derek has changed it in Win32Lib, is that as far as I
understand, in (a) recent version, the default style setting does *not* get
"over-ridden" by user specified style, the user spec just gets *added* to
the default, so you can't be completely sure that you have "rolled your own"
(window style) as you intended."

I had been making modal windows deliberately without a minimize box, (so as
to work-around a bug which allowed a modal window's main window to be
wrongfully closed before the modal was, by minimizing the modal window
first), by using a create similar to yours,

constant aModalWindow = create( Window, "This is a Modal Window", TheWindow,
50, 80, 400, 200, or_all({WS_DLGFRAME, WS_SYSMENU})  )

which *did* make the window without the minimize box in v.50, but made it
*with* the minimize box in .54
