Brian,

Well, I think it is a bug, but it may be intended as feature?  :)

And I think there is supposed to be a new command to re-set the style of a
window, (Wolf says Derek mentioned them in a post earlier, & I think I do
remember that, now), addStyle() and removeStyle(), but I couldn't find them,
maybe they are upcoming;  the best I could do was to hack Win32Lib as
follows:

in "procedure createWindow",
after "if flags!=0 then"
find "lFlags=or_bits(flags,lFlags)",
and change it to:
"lFlags= flags --or_bits(flags,lFlags)";

that will allow whatever *you* set as flags to be accepted and created,
without regard for the default setting (which is what I *think* lFlags is or
was), that is, without "or'ing" the default with the user specified
styles(which amounts to adding all the styles together).  However, I have
*no* idea if this will make other problems or not!!

Maybe there's a better way, but that's all I could find.  Hopefully Derek
will CHANGE THIS BACK, so the programmer can specify window styles easily??
