And thats exactly where OOP comes in because you can easily create a 
class that has that structure. Then you just create new applications as 
a subclass of your template. Then add the extras that this particular 
instance needs (menu items, window controls etc). Finally provide the 
event handlers to link it to your business logic/objects.
