On whose part?  Mine?  IBM's?  If it's me to whom you're referring, I'll
shout it to the world that I'm naive when it comes to many programming
endeavors (*ESPECIALLY* PM).  However, as my original message (to Phil
Crown) stated, I was quoting a paragraph from an IBM reference manual
(albeit old) published by Que.

 PF> The solution is a larger default queue (fixpak 17 uses 3000) and/or

Quite an increase.  Will this actually solve the related problems, or is it
a temporary kludge?

 PF>  /*
 PF>   * PostMsg() -- just like WinPostMsg(),  but checks to see
 PF>   * if the queue was full
 PF>   */

So I should use this whenever I need to post a message to any application's
queue?  In other words, should this be a de facto standard in my PM
applications?
