Hi Pete,

Funny you should mention that, because i was thinking about that
at one point also smile
Thing is, i couldnt really justify doing it, because all it
would do is draw a bitmap (perhaps scrollable) on the display,
which is something some many programs like MS Paint already do.
Any ideas how exactly it would be used and what it would help
the user to do in debugging?  Maybe you mean just to make sure
it looks like it should before the program goes any farther
(from a hBitmap or id_Bitmap)?

Take care for now,
Al
