:Pardon my ignorance, but I would like to know how to create an invisible
:window.
:	Thank you,

	Oh.  Try specifying a NULL title, no system gadgets, and the
	BORDERLESS flag.  The idea is that the window would be used only
	to get mouse and keyboard events, not something you can play 
	around with.  Usually one makes the window the same size as
	the screen except with MaxRows - 1 rows and dropped one pixel
	from the top of the screen so the user can still use the screen
	gadgets.
