Multiple windows would be possible, but I think I made that during a time a few others had talked about or posted some GUI stuff, and I thought I would try my hand at it. I recall I had a massive head injury at that time, and it took me a couple of weeks to get my memory back. Peole kept saying, "What happened to Screen Zero Hero?" And I finally figured out they were talking about me. I'm much better now! I also think I've made a smoother drag routine since, for other projects. This old one still has the QuickBASIC mouse routine!
Recently I put together a method of working with multiple windows from a single program, but it uses SHELL as a cheat, so what the user would do is run one program that would spawn multiple windows in API. Windows would then control the focus, sizing, etc. That's a real time saver, coding-wise.
Thanks,
Pete
