Running 6.0.7, using THINK C.  I have my "About" information in a dialog 
box used with ModalDialog.  I first do some QuickDraw in the box (copybits 
from the ICN#, and a dark border around the Okay button) before invoking 
ModalDialog.  If Pyro! 4.0 gets the screen, then gives it up again, my 
QuickDraw stuff seems to go away.  I'm not able to detect any events while 
ModalDialog is running, and wouldn't have a way to redraw the box during 
ModalDialog anyway.  Am I destined always to lose the QuickDraw stuff?  
Should I InvalRect the box?  Is there a better way?
