  I think that these apps. use a windows style that does not include border,
caption, system menu etc  and set w=getsystemmetrics(sm_cxscreen) and similarly
for the height and of course x=0, y=0 I don't have my references here so I
can't tell you exactly but I think that style:=ws_popup brings up an appropriate
sort of window or else try style:=style or(not ws_caption and ws_sysmenu). I
don't think that's exactly right but you get the idea.
