If I remember correct, you where trying the calculator example from Robert 
Lafore's 'Object oriented programming in TC++', wasn't it?
Well, I hate to say this, but there's an error ( I don't dare to say typo 
again  ) in the listing in the book. I have had this myself when I first 
started with C++ and this code. You have to recalculate the several window 
coords of the buttons in calc_app.cpp, to let the calculator look like it 
should. If you can't figure it out, tell me, I see if I can find the old 
corrected code thingy I have here somewere...
While on the subject of this book, there's one other hickup in some code on 
page 232. It's an example of a static variable inside a class. The example 
oversees the fact, that a static variable needs to be declared outside of the 
class definition. In this case the line: int foo::count = 0; is missing.
No bad words about the rest of the book though. ;-)
