    Actually, I was already doing something like this.  I got some
of my code from BreakApp which uses it.  It was only after my other problems
that I figured out what it meant.
    After getting very frustrated with NeXTStep, I finally figured out one 
method that seems to work.  In the function that I want to always write to my
customview, I use a [mineView lockFocus] and a [mineView unlockFocus].
Seems to work.  (mineView is the id of the customView)

Hope this might help other programmers,
Andrew
