Undoubtedly.  I hope you used the preprocessor to get this . 
The code I used as an example came from Real-World Programming (Blaine,
Kerr, et al).  Is this to say that it's a poor example to use to further my
knowledge of PM Programming?  I've noticed that they use some constructs
dissimilar to those of most PM programming "tutorials" (e.g.
Their method of using a variable (bHandled) to test whether a message was
handled in the client window procedure).
