More of a variety of widgets, maybe even an enhancement to the way they=20
are handled.  I had to do one work around myself to do a pop up because=20
the background of the pop up wrote over the buttons in the dialog, I still=
=20
don't know why similar dialogs work in Shawn's code and not mine.  There=20
may have been a better way to do it, but I couldn't think of one so I=20
rewrote the box_proc to redraw the whole dialog every time it got focus.
(Also, even though Shawn doesn't think so, I would like to see these widget=
s=20
mated to classes in C++, not a major desire, but one none-the-less ).

I am sure everyone else has their own ideas.
