  I assume you're asking how to run TPU inside a DECforms' panel in your
  application.  I don't think you'll be able to do that directly, since
  both DECforms and TPU take over and use the entire screen.

  There have been people who have been very careful to, for example, use
  TPU on the top half of the screen, and DECforms on the bottom.  But it's
  very difficult to do, and probably not worth it since it won't work
  perfectly.

  Hmm, why did you want to start TPU inside a panel?  If you needed to do
  some text editing type of input on a big field, you should look at the
  Part Detail demo that ships with the kit.  It shows a way of implementing
  with DECforms what looks like a tiny text editor that fits inside a
  particular field.  That might solve your problem.
