Magically, you don't need to know. Instead, you can get the information
*after* intuition has figured out all of the borders by looking at the 
fields in the window structured named :
	BorderLeft, BorderRight, BorderTop, BorderBottom

These contain the border sizes.

No. Try it and see.

Let me again reccomend to new and experienced Amiga programmers alike,
read the include files. There is lots of "neat" stuff in there.
