     Apologies if this is an elementary question; I'm still pretty new to Mac
programming.  Anyway, I'm trying to get a window to come up onscreen with a
black content region.  Now I know that I can easily do NewWindow and then
PaintRect the window's body, but that causes a brief white flash, which I'd
like to avoid but have been unable to get rid of.  What I *have* tried:
changing the bkColor and bkPat for the window in various ways before a
ShowWindow; I haven't gotten any positive results.
     Please reply by mail or to the net as you see fit.  Thanks for your time.
