I have been working with the MFC for a little while now, and I have some
suggestions, but I thought I'd post them, just to see if there weren't any
conceptual flaws.

I have been using the collection classes (Lists, primarily) right much,
and have found the need to convert from a POSITION variable to an integer
index. I know there is a function to do the opposite conversion, but this
would be handy, too, without having to do a sizeof() of an object and flip
through the list...

Another thing about the Lists is why isn't there  DeleteAll() function? I
know the one in the XUG, and I use it, but is there any reason why this
isn't built in?

The most important thing (to me, right now) is some support for DOS based
windowing. Although I'd write only Windows programs if I could, not
everybody here has access to Windows. The ease of things like dialog boxes
should be available to those people, too.

Well, my $.02...
