[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Need MacApp Help Badly

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!?

I'm using MPW 2.0.2 with MPW Pascal 2.0.2 and MacApp 1.1.1 and I'm trying to
build a modeless dialog which contains a few scrolling subframes which in turn
contain some dialog items...kind of like the Font/DA Mover which has two
vertically scrolling subframes.
My attempt resulted with a modeless dialog which contained three subframes
(each with a vertical scrollbar), and some check boxes and buttons in the
rest of the dialog area.  The check boxes and buttons behaved nicely, but
none of my dialog items appeared in the subframes and the scrollbars on the
subframes did respond to mouse clicks.  I did, however, receive messages in
my debug window when I clicked on the the scrollbars of the subframes...
	"DialogSelect returned 0; item Hit is: -1"
	"TDialogWindow.DownInContent: No Item selected, or wrong dialog"

So I'm wondering if anyone else has come up against this situation and what
they did to make things work.  At this point, I'll take any kind of advice.
