Hi Jens:

I screwed up - attached my reply to the wrong email!! - I'll try again.

I appear (I always hedge my bets when things appear to good to be true) to
have it all working correctly now - I did not have an application icon in
place - now that I do the icon is placed in their dialog box, it has focus
and the user name is populated with the appropriate name.

On using my own application icon - everything appears to be working
correctly including focus - weird!!

Now there are a few weird things about the menu - when their dialog is up -
however I think disabling the menu items while using their dialog box should
fix it - in the process of putting that in place.

Thanks very much for your input - Arthur
