I noticed that the "About Box" for the Art Class sample uses a window instead
of a modal dialogue. As this was a very complex sample, which used objects,
I could see why it was needed. However, there is no generic "Modal Dialogue
window class" provided, just the CAboutBox class, which is commented with 
words
like "dirty," "hairy," etc. Will the TCL's eventually include a 
well-documented
CModalDialgue class, or will we be stuck with Clint Eastwood?
