I get the feeling that a lot of people want to have those slick status
bars on the bottoms of their MDI applications.

A book by Jeffrey M. Richter, called "Windows 3: A Developer's Guide",
has a chapter that explains how to do this.  You can get the source
code through the mail, or buy a copy of the book with disks in it.
The book also tells you how to make one of those "ribbon" things at 
the top of the screen.

I can't offer any opinion about this book, because I've only read about
25% of it.  I haven't read the MDI chapter, but the sample application
that goes with it runs well on my machine.
