Oh, I didn't get the principle. You weren't *testing* to determine the df
NW, you were writing NW-independent code, to make it more general.
I see. I suppose that's better than storing VA$NW, re-setting it to what
you want, then restoring it, because if the program crashes, it could leave
the user's Xy in a state he doesn't want and/or know about.

Gag!

Thanks, that's crucial for me to know, if I can ever get NBWin properly
installed (it's something wrong with the Install-Shield installer).
