ABSTRACT
-------------------------------------------------------------------

	ITEMLIST is a standalone, independent set of calls that provide
	an application a method to manage a last file loaded list 
	facility.  It uses a dynamically allocated list of item names
	with which to manage Windows menu calls.  The module can be 
	included in any	application that requires managing 'last called' 
	lists and is particularly useful when dealing with documents, 
	files, and data sets.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE USAGE:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

	The best way to understand how ITEMLIST can be called is to
	compile and run the ITEMTEST program.  But here are the basics:
	
	To initialize, ItemListInit must be called to set the following 
	parameters:
	
	szDefaultDir = If you are using filenames, this is the name 
				   of the directory that will be trimmed out of the 
				   filename when it is added.  This can be 
				   suppressed, and is ignored by passing a "" 
				   (zero length string).  
				   
	uMaxItems    = The number of items to be stacked. Memory is 
				   allocated based on this value.
				   
	uSubMenu	 = The sub menu to be appended to.  

	Typical usage for a 'last file loaded':
	
	ItemListInit ("C:\MYDIR", 5, 0);
	ItemListLoad ( GetMenu(hWndMain), "MY.INI");
	....
	ItemListAdd  ( GetMenu(hWndMain), "THISFILE.TXT");
	....
	....
	ItemListSave ( GetMenu(hWndMain), "MY.INI");
	ItemListCleanup();

    Remember, it is up to you to do the following:
    
    	1. Initialize...
    	2. Load defaults from your INI file...
    	3. Add items...they always 'rise to the top' avoiding 
    	   explicit dups
    	4. Remove items...
    	5. Save defaults to your INI file
    	6. CLEAN UP MEMORY
