David,  I don't know if this helps, but I have managed to get most (all
but one that I tried) of the examples from the book to work.  I suspect
that your problem is your linker options.  Which linker are you using?
LINK386.EXE?  You need to specify these options to LINK386.EXE:
   /NOL /NOE /PM:PM
and you must give the correct name to the prompt for .DEF file.
  If you get "incompatible types" messages at link time, you may need to
add some casts.  Also, you should change the 2nd parameter for all
instances of ClientWinProc from "USHORT" to "ULONG".  I didn't do this
until late in the book (i.e. USHORT will work sort of), so I am sure that
your problem is that when you link you are creating a PM app.
  I hope this helps.
