Okay,
	This may sound a bit basic but I still (after trying several times)
can't get the windows to open correctly (well I lest I think so):

What I do is this 

------------
	
main()
{
	int pipeid,handle;

	pipeid = appl_init();
	handle = wind_create(NAME,x,y,w,h);  /* replace with window coords */
	wind_set(handle,NAME,"test",0,0);    /* this might be the wrong syntax but I
						don't have a problem here */
	wind_open(handle,x,y,w,h);
	
	....etc...
--------------

So I can get the title bar to appear and the outline of the window. What
I would like to know, Have I missed anything out when setting up the
windows as the background in the window is grey (I use a high rez
monitor) and not the white which I was expecting.

Any help, tips, general comments most useful
