i have the following window on the desktop

	-------------------------------------------------
	|		title				|
	-------------------------------------------------
	| *						|
	|	**					|
	|						|
	|						|
	-------------------------------------------------

for now, disregard * and **.

i create the window with _NewWindow2. i then want to write a string to
the upper left corner of the window (where * is located). so, i just
_WriteCString my string and it appears there. now, as far as i know, *
has local coordinates (0, 0). so, if i _LocalToGlobal (0,0) and then
_MoveTo the result of this, i should appear where * is. however, this does
not work. the string appears where ** is located after the _MoveTo. 

someone want to explain what's going on?
