My mistake.  However, WRT's dialog editor still doesn't have a status box
or bar, and doesn't give any decent feedback when moving controls.  Yuk.

***NOTE***
All my griping about the faults of BCC and WRT doesn't mean that BCC is a
bad package.  It means that it's not perfect, and if you're doing profes-
sional Windows development, I wouldn't throw out the MSC and SDK just yet.
Nevertheless, I expect to be using BCC in the months to come...
