Thanks to Ned Horvath (and Dave Platt, who answered by mail) for pointing out
this TrackControl oddity to me. I'm sure I knew about it in 1984 when I first
read IM...  I just wonder what other little details I've forgotten. :-(

I am still mystified by the weird thumb highlighting, though. It is totally
independant of the ActionProc (it manifested even before I wrote the Action-
Proc...) What happens is that instead of draging around a black box the same
size as the thumb & with one pixel borders, it drags around a box smaller than
the thumb by one pixel on each side, with borders TWO pixels wide. Has anyone
ever seen this kind of behavior before?

Thanks
