TWIMC,

I've been experiencing some THINK C (v 4.0) problems, which I'm having a
hard time explaining.  It's probably something simple, but I need an
answer.

Here's the situation:  I'm writing a program which can have several
files (and windows) open at once.  They are stored in a struct array
with a bunch of other information.  All the windows are stored as
resources.  I have compiled the program as an application and added the
resources with RedEdit.  On startup, the program should open a tools
window and an untitiled working windoe.  The first window opens just
dandy.  But when it tries to open the second, it hangs up completely.  I
can avoid this, if I send a new (dummy) window record to GetNewWindow. 
The problem is, when it gets into the main event loop, it crashes
whenever I click in any of the windows (includeing the move/title bar). 
I think it's because of this screwed up window record thing.  Is every
window supposed to have it's own window record?  I've never needed a
seperate wRecord for each window before (when I programmed in Pascal). 
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Bob
