John,

I have a preference for straightforward Clearwin+ things, because the MSDN is sometimes difficult to follow. I've found that the 'super-image' BMP containing text can be exported from CorelD ...

So (1) is a matter of taste, fair enough. As far as (2) goes, what is the definition of 'big', and d ...

Klaus,
While not explicitly answering my questions, your recent post clarifies some issues for me in a helpful way. If I may paraphrase your answers:
1. You like VS better than PLATO.

Hi Paul,

Even for me it's a low priority, and perhaps it is better that I explore making a 'super button' BMP with the text included. Let's see where I get to.

Ken,

Scrollbars are one method of moving the image relative to the window. An advantage of them is that people know how to use them, a disadvantage of them is that they only provide a mechanism for ...

John,
