Using BPW and the resource workshop, I've used the skelton features
of a Borland program to begin hacking/programming in windows. The
program I started with (as I recall) didn't have an Exit function
but it did of course have the standard window close call. I wanted
to add the Exit feauture so I went into RW and created one with some
bogus return code (99). My program could capture this but I couldn't
quite figure out how to shutdown the windows....yes, RTFM...I see
CanClose, but not CLOSE...I see DESTROY, but that doesn't appear
to really shutdown/clean-up gracefully....hints ???

After getting frustrated, I decided that Borland had to have added this
feature into one of their examples and stumbled upon HeapSpy. Glancing
through their code I could not find where their Exit was called. I
opened their Menu using RW (HeapSpy.res) and found out that their return
code was set to something like 23400. So I took a chance and changed my
code of 99 to 23400 and BAM, it worked...what is so special about this
number and where is it documented....are there other reserved return
codes ???

Cheers,
