Question for Windows vets:
None of the documentation (+ books) I've checked mentions the
possibility (?) of having more than 1 'main window' (i.e. 
an OVERLAPPED style window with NULL parent, with its own menu etc.).
I've tried it and it seems to work (sort-of) - everything is fine
except for the fact that some messages mysteriously don't make it
to the message processor of my 2'nd (and following) windows - 
PAINT sometimes (?!) makes it, COMMAND never (!) makes it (even
though the menu 'works' and SPY shows all messages coming in OK).
I hope the bug is on my side - please respond if you've had any
experience with the above case (Email ok - I'll summarize). 
Thanks in advance
Paul
