The main difference between the posted code and the WIDGET_INFO
function is that the user is not required to specify the event.top id
only the uname of the widget. I wrote this because I kept losing my
event.top under a set of various circumstances. Also it did not matter
where and when you ran the function. You could run it in a pop-up that
had no connection to the main TLB and still find and pass information.

It worked, I thought it was cool, but in the end I took D. Fannings
advice and took a closer look at pointers. I still think its a handy
little tool though.
