No, I didn't mean to imply this. My post more reflects my current bias
as one whose primary development background is on a UNIX platform, but
in my
current job, what development work I do is almost all on Windoze, both
in PV-WAVE and Visual Basic. PV-WAVE on Windows requires some shifts in
thinking, and a different bag of tricks to get the sometimes-quirky
Ww layer into behaving on Windows--like spinning a WwTimer off to
allow event processing to catch up, or the helpful WtProcessEvent(...,
/Drain).

These are good ones to know, for sure! About the only other "secret"
WtSet keywords I have played with in the past involved using /Manage and
/UnManage along with /Child for a WwOptionMenu to explicitly set the
selected item.

Ah, sometimes I long for good ol' UNIX.
