Thanks for the response.
Please add the following to your list of needed glue routines.
ControlAttrType: I can't find a POSE "safe" way to set the frame attribute
for buttons.
ControlType: need to determine which group a control is in.
I guess the "simple" solution is to look at POSE's list of errors that are
generated when somebody accesses a protected area, then develop routines
that provide isolated access to that information.
