Scroll Bars Acting Up - Really!

A few days ago I posted about a problem with sticky scroll bar controls;
since then I have had some offers of help --- if I could provide source
code. So I sliced, I diced, I simplified and I created mini.c, a little
program which displays a small square of colored squares and allows you to
size the frame and scroll the image. It is a few hundred lines long, so
instead of boring everyone and their brother with it it is available for
ftp from ftp.cs.unc.edu in /pub/ladd/mini.zoo. The archive contains my make
file as well as the mindless, yet oddly behaving code.

While I am on the subject, there is an almost fix in the code (compile it
with FIX defined to see the difference) where the actual scrolling only
happens upon receipt of SBM_ENDSCROLL messages; this is ALMOST
satisfactory: it does not allow me to actually hold down MB1 and scroll, a
line at a time, from the bottom to the top. I must release the MB and THEN
it scrolls, however many lines it registered as having been pressed.

Again, any assistance is greatly appreciated. -bcl
