I'm double-buffering using the phys & logical base stuff
successfully, but I need to write some vg_text to the offscreen
bitmap.  It appears to only write to the screen being shown, which
shows the annoying re-draw and flicker that I'm trying to avoid by
using double-buffering.  Could someone e-mail some sample C code or
an explanation as to how to do this... should I use vg_text or some
Line A stuff or what?

     thanks in advance,
                         Brad
