Thanks once again...Your responses have made it really easy for me to debug
wt apps. I have been doing some programming with MFC internet classes for a
while, but those hide all the details under the hood; so I never knew
anything. As of now, I am going to install a newer version of wt i.e., 2.99.
When I downloaded the earlier version, 2.99 was in its beta, I guess. Now
that u have assured me, I will download it.
Thanks,
Bhushan
