What operating system are you talking about? That's sort of important to
say, because any answers you receive are going to be OS-dependant. I'm
guessing Windows, in which case I won't be able to help you. The one
time I tried serious Windows programming I think I swore more often in a
single month (usually at the poor quality of the documentation) than I
normally do in an entire year. Usually along the lines of "What the
<bleep> were they thinking?" I won't do that (attempt any serious
programming in Windows) ever again if I have any choice in the matter. :-(
