Yes I do.  I'm not sure if it would violate our license or their
copyright if I posted it, though.

The window record has KEEP, USRRSTDSP and OVERLAY.

I've never programmed windows, so I don't know what all of the various
options do.  The window tries to manage cursor position for cursor
sensitive prompting, so maybe the position is being returned
incorrectly?
