 Hi. I would appreciate information on how I can create a floating palette
in HC 2.0 to which I could write text messages. Are there any examples or
sources of information on how to do this (ie. not the usual Palette
Maker button arrangement).
 The other issue which has me somewhat baffled is how to obtain a
window pointer for a window created by the Picture XCMD so I can
then setport and draw stuff over the picture.

 Thanks in advance for any bits of advice.

 Regards,
 Malcolm
