I'm saving into OS2.INI from a WM_SAVEAPPLICATION message handler.  Writing to 
user-specified configs isn't something you should be doing from the main 
thread, particularly if the configs could be on a floppy.

There's no need to rewrite window position data on every WM_MOVE message.  Just 
call WinQueryWindow() from a WM_SAVEAPPLICATION handler and write the window 
locations when the program exits.
