Thanks for the suggestion Steve. I read up on that option and explored such
solutions for a while. In this case the issues turned out to be with the
panel windowproc. Ralph Thomas stepped in at the 11th hour and came up with
a patch to clear up the main issues that Thomas Witt identified. While some
additional Win32 bugs remain to be cleared up, Release 1.0.12 should allow
him to make more progress. Please let us know.
