Many thanks to those who responded to my initial question on forcing
screen updates.  PaintBehind() and creating/disposing a window both
work for foreground applications, but how does one force a screen
update from a background application?  It might be possible to
post an event to force my application into the foreground -- I'll
have to try that.  Any other ideas out there?
