In article <3XXRV1w163w@mantis.co.uk> mathew@mantis.co.uk
asks how to do a CUA Split Window.

I don't think there is any easy way to do it. It is my impression that
you have to create a custom window for the little black box. This tiny
window has a very simple WM_PAINT case and mouse handling. I think you
have to do this all yourself.

>[ Also: Do Microsoft accept bug reports or queries by E-mail? ]

Only if you pay them like $700 a year or so for Microsoft Online,
their own online system. Some Microsoft employees happen to read
usenet but not as official MS representatives, only as private
individuals. 

By the way, if there is anyone from MS reading this, I know that MS
has internal email addresses for reporting bugs in MS products.
Perhaps someone could make these email addresses public?
