I'm a experienced X11 programmer trying to write my first MSW
program, and having a difficult time getting simple debug
output from my program.  (I'm trying to avoid learning yet
another debugger)

Right now I'm just opening a file called debug.txt and writing
stuff into that, but I'd like to have a quickie function that
pops up a dialog box with a message, sort of like this:

sprintf(buf,"a= %d, b=%d",a,b);
debugwin(buf);

I would like to do this with a dialog box, but I don't know if you can
pass the buf in since dialog boxes are defined in the .rc file.
(Remember I'm brand new at this) Does anyone have something like this
they would share?  Any better ideas?  "debug" doesn't appear in the
index of any of the manuals we got with the SDK.

Thanks,
