</B><P>Use a 4-space indent instead. Before you start writing code, make sure you enable your editor<6F>s &quot;map tabs to spaces&quot; feature. In MSDEV, you can find this option by clicking &quot;tools&quot;=&gt;&quot;options&quot;=&gt;&quot;tabs.&quot;</P>

</B><P>We<EFBFBD>ve got internal API<50>s for everything. So if you<6F>re about to type &quot;strcmp&quot; ask your mentor or someone else what to use instead. </P>
<B><LI>Use Hungarian prefix notation when naming variables</LI>
</B><P>Any Windows programming book (e.g. Petzold<6C>s <U>Programming Windows 95</U>) should have a discussion of this naming convention. Or you can just look around in the IE code base for examples.</P>
