A while back I asked how to learn the finer points of TVision. Most of the
response was to 
bone up on Units, and OOP, and I got a few responses from people who were
equally perplexed asking to share any help I found.

As it turned out, the biggest mistake I was making was not letting TurboVision
`own' all the stuff I sent to it (ie: Listbox's). I suppose this is more a
pitfall of an OOP  novice.   The resource that I found most helpfull was to
print out all the sources that Borland shipped, and start disecting..

If anyone is interested, I'll put together some more
examples/utilities/tutorials of things I've learned, and make it available.
