Of course you are right--the problem was not a "figment of your
imagination." But my question is, what happens when you 
use -mwindows instead of -lkernel32, -luser32, and -lgdi32? 
I thought -mwindows just rolled these into one script--but
I guess not. You see, somehow I *have* been linking to the 
functions in question (that's why my code has been working)
and you haven't. So perhaps you might like to re-phrase 
the above. The issue is not whether I have "tried linking" 
to the windows libraries. I have been doing this successfully
all along (apparently fools luck).

The issue is if *you* have tried linking using -mwindows. I 
posted some code earlier that I believe may work with the api
you wanted to employ. I hope you have tried it, and will verify my
conclusion.

Best Regards,
DRS
