Hey Chris, ever seen the Windows task list program?  (hint)

Just do a create dialog.  Means you have to have a main message loop, but
all of the control creation, and handling is done by windows.

I wrote code to take in a dialog resource script and create the controls
in a popup window.  Not hard, just read the docs.  I needed it for a 
utility that "adds" popup windows to other applications to control
DDE and stuff.  Kinda neat...but generally esoteric.
