You know Photoshop?
It has one main window and if you load an image it will load in a smaller window inside the main window.
That's an mdi form and that's how they can be used.
I made a map editor not long ago it had the main interface and a small mdi form to render real-time.

Just a new instance of a form...
Or maybe a custom designed window...
Why do you need to know?

I see.
I've done it 2 times (a custom home-brew MSN (one in VB.Net the other in C#)
How you do the forms erm...
You make a form (frmMessage for example) and put all the components on it that you want.
Then you do
Dim newMsgFrm As frmMessage
newMsgFrm.Show
Edit;
Of course later on you'll have to automate it.
You should make an array of windows and when you receive a new MSG you can add it to the array for better handling etc...

recreating msn eh?
i tried and gave up on vb6 because it uses winsock.ocx, which is not available on standard windows xp's
you can figure out all the winsock.DLL calls... tell me when you finish.
