1. Pictures arn't showing up

I used to program in DOS but I switched over to windows for more options. I
have been trying to display a BMP with loadbitmapfromfile and drawBitmap but
it just ain't working! I thought it might be my code but it wasn't throwing
any errors, so I ended up even trying this which I copied right out of the
win32lib document:
drawLine (SimpleWin , 10, 10, 100, 100)
No line came up in my window. It was just blank! Someone help me out!

Hello Dan,

Try this:
create a pixmap using the create() function
load the bitmap file into it using setPixmap()
display the image using copyBlt()

Make sure you are showing the correct window i.e: "SimpleWin"
Make sure the drawLine statement is being executed:
Put it in a routine called DrawTheLine() and then after the
end procedure put this line:
onClick[SimpleWin] = routine_id( "DrawTheLine" )
Now when you click on the window the line should be drawn
another thing to try: setPenColor() to make your line colored.
hope this helps,
