Also look at Apples sample code on offscreen bitmaps. The code lets you
drag small bitmaps around and looks real smooth. I had a tough time trying
to get it to work in THINK pascal but should be no problem for you. It also
comes in C.

The program also lets you toggle the offscreen bitmaps on and off to see
the differnce with using multiple bitmaps.

I think the code was based on their new Gworld stuff. I can't remember its
been a while since I played with it.
