[the main problem with reality, it that it takes too much time]

Howdy,

I've been having this problem with a propgadget. I want to do a 
hot-slider. You slide that sucker, and a number in a window dynamically
updates. Simple, eh?.

So I set every flag imaginable in the window and gadget fields. When
I click in the prop-well (the box around the knob), I get the expected
messages: "GADGETDOWN. GADGETUP, YOURFLYISOPEN, blah, blah, blah. . .".

But, when I actually click on the knob itself, I only get a GADGETDOWN
message when I RELEASE the button. But, sometimes, when I click on it
again, while my window is still open, I'll get the proper messages.

I first wrote this piece of code as a stand alone part-task, and it 
worked just jim-dandy, but breaks when I plug it into the Real
Program.

Any ideas??
