If you want graphics to move smoothly, here's what you do.  Create a pixmap 
control that is the size of the window client area.  This will be your 
virtual screen.  Instead of drawing to the window, draw to the pixmap.  When 
you are ready to switch pages, use copyBlt() to copy the pixmap to the 
window.

If you want multiple pages for some other reason, just create multiple 
pixmaps.

pereodically call doEvents(). Every time this is called, win32lib checks for 
events and executes the apropriate event handlers.

As for your floppy disk question, I wish I knew how to do that, but I don't. 
sorry.
