Why, Hello David...

Replying to a message of David Van Hoose to All:

 DVH> Can someone send me an example of how to make a PM window with a
 DVH> child window in it?? I can't seem to get it right.. Any example
 DVH> which follows this will be nice.

The following example is from the IMO essential book "OS/2
Presentation Manager Programming" (Ziff-Davis Press):
