Great, that should be what I need.
Yes, you're right; there are no controls in the window - just written directly.

Actually, I will just use a single v. large sized bitmap, and use stretchBlt to
transfer it, because the text sizes don't seem to scale well.

Thanks.

Flickering? Do you use repaintWindow() alot? I found I reduced alot of
flicker with surrounding toolbars, buttons, border etc which did not
need updating by invoking my oppaint routine directly.

Otherwise: I assume you already have code which writes direct to the
window, so use something like this:

	size = getClientRect(win) -- returns {x1,y1,x2,y2}
	size[3]-=size[1]
	size[4]-=size[2]
	If Bitmap=0 then --[**1**]
		Bitmap=create(Pixmap,"",0,0,0,size[3],size[4],0)
	end if
	setCtlSize(Bitmap,size[3],size[4])


then setFont/setPenColor/drawRectangle/drawLine/bitBlt/stretchBlt/
setTextColor/wPuts as usual, only to your Bitmap, then just:

	copyBlt(win, 0, 0, Bitmap)

 [**1**] I create my bitmap precisely once, maximum size since I open
the window maximised, and resized it before each repaint.
