	I would like to comment about the Apple practice of this Cmd-Key override
to Window Resizing..

	The Cmd-Key override is wonderful for Multi-Window and large scren
environments and for what it was designed for, it's great!!

	HOWEVER it does have some problems with certain applications and situations.
EXAMPLE - I am writing an application where I have a window that can only be
resized horizontally and not vertically.  Normally everything works fine since
I can call GrowWindow with a rectangle that let's me do this - BUT if the user
(for whatever reason) holds down the command key, then he can resize my 
window vertically as well - and there is NOTHING I can do about it!!
(yes, I tried doing my won WDEF to override the CmdKey but that doesn't work!)

	Well Apple, any comments?!??!?
