Sounds good. I am not sure why AfxGetApp()-> is not pulling up my custom
functions back in the CWinApp class, but I don't see why we couldn't just
migrate everything from the CWinApp class up to the CMainFrame class as
you
suggest.

If I did somehow figure out the first way (getting AfxGetApp()-> to pull
up
my and list my custom functions), is that an ok/safe way of calling them?
-- cause then minimal change would be needed -- I would just be using
CMainFrame to route my messages.

Thanks again for replying!

AfxGetApp() returns a CWinApp pointer. To call your added functions you can
cast it to your own app class.

CYourApp* p = (CYourApp*)AfxGetApp();
p->YourAppFunction();

But this is ugly and not really recommended. The more elegant way is to add
an extern declaration in yourapp.h

extern CYourApp theApp;

Then to call your functions you can simply do:

theApp.YourAppFunction();
