This particular piece I'm working on right now is what might be called a
mini-IDE in the context of a visual editor for the newUIObj instructions.  That
is why I'm in a position of having to remove controls and put them back.  That
is, I don't want to just move a control on the screen, I really want to delete it
and re-paint it from scratch so that I'm sure the command is actually working.

I'm not sure I will ever have the time to make it publishable, since right now
it uses hardcoded names for many of the files and presumes a directory structure
that I'm sure nobody else has or would want.

But I really need this tool because hand editing a 2000 line text file to change
the layout of a particular screen is getting quite tedious.
