It is a great starter. I now have a program that opens 5 files with the 
windows where I want them.

Questions follow - please answer only as much as you have time and 
energy for:

I'd like to have this program run each time I start the IDE. How do I do 
that?

I'd also like to save window settings when I close the IDE. How do I 
capture the quit event? How do I enumerate the open windows?

I have started reading the MFC documentation. It is not easy reading! It 
is hard to tell which methods are actually available, and what the 
parameters mean.

I assume if I had the appropriate header file I'd have access to the 
values of the named constants. How do I get that file?

Is there a tutorial re MFC that might make it easier?

Thanks for your help.
