Yes, but what if the form was actually declared in the main program? 
Could code resident in a DLL (and called from the main thread) interact 
with the form to e.g. set up main- or context-menu entries, or at least 
work around the memory manager issues sufficiently to be able to return 
strings representing menuitem captions and entry points representing 
click handlers? And could the handlers then interact with the 
main-program form(s)?
