that is true.
if you remove WS_SYSMENU from the CreateWindowEx()  you do not get the 
close button (and no minimize either).

lets put it back in.

i also found out that you can return a value in the win_msg_proc  that 
will prevent the beep.   its in the MSDN docs for the WM_?  msg that is 
sent when the user presses ALT+key.

(haven't time right now to check, got to go to work..)
