Yea, I wish that were documented somewhere.  I spent about 12
man-hours trying to figure that out. :(

OBTW, take a look at the new Order Entry dialog.  In particular, try
clicking on the datecell popup button to bring up the calendar.
You'll see that the calendar comes up within the frame but the frame
is too short, meaning you lose the bottom row or so (at least with my
dimensions).

Other than making the window larger (which I think I might do
anyways), do you have any suggestions?  Is there something I can do to
have the date widget popup on top of the window rather than inside the
window?
