	I am attempting to create a window control similar to the
list box control.  My control will use a call back function to
get new text as it is scrolled into view.  The benefit of this control
will be that not all of the data will need to fit into memory.  This
will allow this control to browse such items as files and data bases.

	The problem lies in the keyboard interface.  Apparently the
dialog box handler is not passing the cursor keys to my control.  I 
recieve all other keys except ALT keys, tab and shift-tab without any 
problem.  The list box control uses cursor keys to scroll through its list, 
so I know it can be done. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can make my 
control receive those ornery old cursor keys?

		thanks,
		lab
