I'm a relative newbie (or maybe a relative to a newbie).

UserForm is totally missing the most basic Windows controls--minimize
and maximize buttons, and the user can't even resize it.

And I can't seem to find any relevant properties in the property
inspector. I mean, what the?

Is it programmer error as usual, and I haven't selected the correct
component from the palette?

If that is the case, then why does the (o/wise fine) VBA environment
default to such a stupid component?

I mean, we're trying to write some *applications* here. Or does
Microsoft want us to jump ship?
