Re: Display file windows that look like dialog boxes

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes.  Thanks.  That appears to be the default value whenever I compile, 
so that doesn't appear to be the source of the problem.

I recompiled an older display file just to see if it made any 
difference.  It didn't change the behavior of the old program.

So, I am stumped.  I have several other programs that use a pattern 
similar to this and none have this problem.  When they display they have 
a regular, graphical border.

Is it because the display size and the window size is so similar?  Do I 
need to allow for more space around the window to allow for a border?
