+only slider in a box.  If there is more than one slider control 
+in a box then signals may get misdirected to the wrong control.
+
+On OS/2 slider controls will be misplaced if their postition is

+showing the window invalidates the position. 
+
+On OS/2 and Windows MLE controls scrolled position may get

+environment variables DW_BORDER_WIDTH and DW_BORDER_HEIGHT
+are ysed for proper positioning.
