I remember you mentioning about this during your presentation, but I did not
undertsand it fully then.
I also read your explanation in ruby-talk #85998 (to which David Garamond
correctly replied in
ruby-talk # 86070).  I do not see any evidence of this when I run a small
test application say like this:
#-----------------------------------------
#
#  Using vruby-031110
#  Using vrswin-030906
#

require 'vr/vruby'
require 'vr/vrcontrol'

class MyForm <VRForm
  def construct
    self.caption="Hello World"
    self.move(300,200,250,200)
    addControl(VRButton,"btn1","&Exit",80,50,80,40)
  end

  def btn1_clicked
    messageBox "Button Pushed"
    exit
  end
end

VRLocalScreen.showForm(MyForm)
VRLocalScreen.messageloop
#-----------------------------------------

Evidently I am missing something (or it could be that the author fixed it in
the recent version).
