RE: Code Extras

Computer Associates (CA) has a product called Unicenter TNG.  One of the
primary functions is to collect system type messages from multiple systems
and display them on a consolidated console.  You have the ability to set any
number of custom filters for the messages you want displayed.  With this
particular product, the default action when clicking the "X" is to NOT save
any filters you have defined.  This is actually a very handy feature of the
product.  You can set generic filters that you always want active and set
additional ones as needed per session.  This keeps you from opening a
session then having to wait for filters from your last session to be applied
before you can disable them and apply filters for the new session.

Every VB developer with any experience knows that you can tell how your app
exits, whether via the X or an End command or whatever. Same for when you
use MFC. I mean, Windows is sending the message out, for pity's sake! Not
to save the settings when the X is used, must be a conscious decision,
along the lines of F12 is CA12 and F3 is CF03. I understand that the
pathway through IBm changes is long, but this is NOT hard. The code to save
the stuff is already there, just change your IF statement and connect to
the code. Yikes!

Lose the MRU list? EVERY other Windows app can preserve these things. Come
on, IBM, get with the progam!
