dragging 2 windows in synch

[Scott Morrow]

Thanks Ken, I'm working in MacOS  and  didn't realize that the 
moveStack and resizeStack message were sent continually under Windows. 
While  good news it surprised me as the documentation is pretty 
specific.

<< The moveStack message is sent after the movement is finished. This 
means that you cannot prevent a stack window from being moved by 
trapping this message. >>

I'm using Rev version 2.1.2 so hopefully this isn't a new feature!

... Custom windows will probably have to wait : )
