- Like BERTW says, you shouldn't needlessly leave your opening box
- handing around.
-
- Rather than put the onus on your readers to tell when they've had
- enough, the better thing to do is to provide a simple "About my
- application" button that will display the title page info. Another
- button lets them tell your program when they want to get back to the
- main part.

- See comp.human-factors for much more on the subject (if you can).
