I'm just starting programming using the MS C Windows SDK and am having
a problem, the solution to which I cannot find in any of the manuals.
It has to do with the WM_PAINT message i.e. how do you, in general, update
the screen after obtaining this message (e.g. when the window size changes).
I originally thought that some form of screen backup and restoring would be
required but again I couldn't find anything to do this.  
	I apologize if this turns out to be a trivial task that is 
actually documented but I'd still appreciate any help.
