That is true. That is why I said "the easiest way." It is not "the best
way." The best way is a bit more complicated, and involves creating an
inherited class derived from System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationContext. You
call the Application.Run method, passing the inherited ApplicationContext
class instance to it. This enables you to have complete control over as many
forms running in succession as you wish.
