   Remember that when using any large programming development system that 
there will be an initial jump in code size, and as you progress, it will go 
down as the %age of your code.
  For instance, the 200K "Hello, world" program is excessive, but if you 
were to build in a complete accounting system, or something, the total code 
size would be ~300K (or so). You'll find that most windowing libs will have 
the same initial jump in code. The amount of code size jump will depend on 
the complexity of the lib. TV is a very complex, complete library.
