I "borrowed" heavily from your implementation of the word count dialog
for Unix. Thanks to you all that's already been done. :)

By 'window decoration' I assume you mean in the title bar... and yeah,
I don't think that should be that hard. From the dialog standpoint
anyway. I'll have to poke around the abi source code for a while to find
out how to get the document title first. That'll be the hard part. :)
