standalones again -- problems

Sorry, coming rather late to this thread, which may already have been solved.

I seem to remember there is an issue with Windows not allowing
resizing unless the window decorations are set to default.

I've never used "the working screenRect" but I have used "the
screenBoundingRect" successfully for this sort of thing.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but again, I have a vague memory of
the menuMouseButton needing to be set to 0 on Windows for option
buttons to work correctly.

With the arrowKey handler, when you change the menuHistory, it may not
be doing anything because the popup button is open like a menu. I know
that on Macs anyway, when a menu is dropped down, it's like a modal
dialog - everything stops until you choose. Option buttons may be the
same, although that is just a guess.
