    In the heat of computation I suddenly discover that something has
    gone wrong.  I don't have a global variable for the window handle
    because I'm encapsulating my routines.

    I want to use MessageBox() to signal the user (me) *what* went
    wrong.  MessageBox() needs a handle to a window.  The following
    snippet of code correctly displays the message box, but later hangs.

    Do I need to get rid of the window handle once I am done with it?
    If so, how?  Release?  Destroy?

    Thanks in advance.
