Basically, Protogen generates code with special comments in it.  It allows
you to insert your modifications in the relevant spots, and if you keep it
between the comments, Protogen should preserve your personalized code.

I agree with the assessment that Protogen isn't worth the money.  Things 
like OWL and MFC make Windows programming easier and simplistic tools like
Protogen don't seem very useful.  I'd like to play around with a full-fledged
prototyping, CASE, tool, but Protogen certainly isn't one.
