Windows in a dialog box? Sick, twisted, documented, and easy. :-)

The specifics are in the Reference Volume 2 (around 7-35). Look up
the specifics regarding the creation (indirectly) of a dialog box,
and you will find that the dialog template structure includes a slot
for an asciiz string which specifies the menu (which you compile in
with the resource compiler). 

Be warned, so far as I can tell, you can't use the arrow keys to shift
from menu to menu to like you can in a normal window, but Alt-(char)
works just fine...

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, "Let there be Light."
And there was still nothing. But, you could see it.
