A-Shell 4.9 introduced the ability to dynamically create real Windows child controls in the A-Shell main.  These include buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, group boxes, listboxes, combo boxes, edit controls, tab controls, static text controls, tree controls, etc. Using this technique, you can now using traditional Alpha Basic screen drawing techniques (print commands, tab functions, and subroutines) to create Windows “forms” and dialogs that are nearly indistinguishable from Windows programs created in Visual Basic. See AUI.SBR in the A-Shell XCALL Reference for details.
