first heard about dialogui option on a mailing list, then I couldn't find

I stumbeled across this dialog vs window issue in the third chapter of the
Win32::GUI tutorial. On my machine it is at:
C:\Perl\html\site\lib\Win32\GUI\Tutorial\Part3.html
They are two different types of main window, modelled after Win32 windows
and dialog boxes, I guess.
I found it very small and relying on MSDN's site which is
not same as easy to use as the POD documentation (for a screen reader
user).
I second that, too. I'm using Supernova here, rather than Jaws, though. The
docs are now more up to date, I think, but there are still a lot of
improvements that could be made. That is, many of the basic control
descriptions and usage info simply reads TBD which might stand for to be
done or to be documented, I'm not sure which. Also, many docs refer to
header files or MSDN without explicit links. Well, I guess TBD is marginally
better than bla bla blaa.
Sure, I have access to both Win32 headers and MSDN and I can chekc them, but
it would still make life so much easier if there was more complete
documentation. Now, for example, I'm wondering how I should programmatically
insert a group box in a window. The groupbox docs won't say, it is not
covered in the tutorial and Petzold's Windows book is annoyingly vague on
the subject. I've yet to check MSDN.
