You're thinking of what one does when subclassing windows - hook  
procedures are another beast entirely.  Jon needs to call  
CallNextHookEx but if he doesn't the only thing that will break will  
be other hooks.

Only thing that springs to my mind for Jon's problem is that a  
GetMessage hook doesn't catch all the messages sent to an app.   
Anything sent via PostMessage goes into the message queue, but  
anything sent via SendMessage goes straight to the WndProc.  I have  
no idea if this is related to the problem, but it *is* a difference  
between a quote-unquote "standard" app and what Jon is trying to do.
