Access Windows info from HLC - create instance handle in V6

Progress Windows HLC users have requested to be able to access windows
information that is currently hiddern from them. THE FOLLOWING IS A
VERSION 6 SOLUTION ONLY (and a different approach will be taken for
version 7).

If a user wants to create an instance handle for a Progress Windows
application, in their c code they would declare a structure as
follows:

struct ProwinInfoStruct
{
HWND hWnd; /* Handle to PROWIN window */
HANDLE hInst; /* Instance handle for PROWIN appl. */
HDC hDC; /* handle to PROWIN window DC */
};

Then declare a variable of this structure type for storage :
struct ProwinInfoStruct ProwinInfo;

To fill the structure, the follwoing procedure call can be made:
wdGetProwinInfo(&ProwinInfo);

This will make the contents of ProwinInfo available to the appl.
programmer.
