I have had mixed results with api calls.  Even though I was following Dan
Appleman's advice from his book guide to the win32 api, I still had
unexplained lockups and crashes.  I use API's when there is no other way to
accomplish something.  If I can make it work using standard vb commands, I
tend to go that way.
