One of the problems is a "demarcation" issue. I believe that the onPaint
functionality is standard Windows stuff. Meaning that if you were writing in
C++ or other low-level languages (VB, Delphi, et al are no longer low-level)
for Windows, you'd have to know this is how onPaint is to be used. So should
Euphoria coders document "Windows Programming Techniques" in win32lib or
should one read other books to get this info? I really don't know the
answer. Another approach might be to have a high-level routine either in
win32lib or using win32lib that provides automatic Window rendering.
