	[ more comments about modal dialog boxes ]

Paul,

	I could be wrong, but I think the request was for modeless
	dialog boxes.  I have had problems moving modeless dialog
	boxes also.

	Do you have any comments on moveing modeless dialog boxes?

	I think the problem may lie in the way messages are dispatched
	for modeless dialogs.

	???

	Thanks for any help.

	Regards |(8>
