Hi all,

In case anyone else looks at my original post and had the same
problem, here is how I got thigns to work.

First, I had to ditch Borlands SplitPanel and DecoratedFrame classes.
This means I could not use the GUI to lay things out, so the ide
became a bit less attracitve to me at that point.

Second, I used instead JsplitPane and JFrame.

This required me to change a few things because DecoratedFrames are
sublcassed off of awt.Frame and not JFrame.  Now, when I swap the
panel in one side of JSplitPane, things work fine with minor visual
annomalies durign the switch.

If anyone else knows a way to do this using DecoratedFrames and
SplitPanels, please post a followup.  Losing the Rapid GUI development
process really takes away a lot of the value of this product.
