This is a great idea John!. I originally was using C++ Builder to design
my Win32::GUI forms so I could get the pixel coordinates. I'm anxious to
try letting your script create the perl GUI code for me. A Win32::GUI
forms designer is in progress (3 cheers to those doing it),
thanks. ;)

Yes David, I have seen similar things. I wrote an application on Windows NT

Windows 95, I only could see the last 6 characters keyed. What I
