You need to allocate a TmpRas, and set the TmpRas pointer of the rastport to
that. The TmpRas (presumably short for temporary rastport) is the same height
and width as your window's rastport, but only one bit-plane deep. Check the RKM
for more info, as I can't remember exactly how its done of the top of my head.
