## helloapp.py
##
##
## A nice, small 'hello world' Pythonwin application.
## NOT an MDI application - just a single, normal, top-level window.
##
## MUST be run with the command line "pythonwin.exe /app helloapp.py"
## (or if you are really keen, rename "pythonwin.exe" to something else, then
## using MSVC or similar, edit the string section in the .EXE to name this file)
