Hi NEIL,

          Something about: WHY THE BRACES?

 AFAIK they are built into the Windows 95 code.  If you
 want to view them look at the file WINDOWSX.H.  I would
 continue discussing this here but it's really off topic
 because the code is C rather that C++ and I'm not sure
 if Windows specific discussion is tolerated here
 If you would like to continue the discussion in e-mail
 my address is below my name.
