Easy (I hope) color quickdraw question.  I set the RGBBackColor to
anything besides white, and do some EraseRect calls, among other
things.  Then, within the application, everything works fine.  I
change the RGBBBackColor (sp?) back to white, and everything still
works fine, until the application quits.  Then, unfortunately, things
quit working.  The background color for a lot of the windows from
other applications turns black.  For instance, the buttons in any
dialog box that comes up after I quit my application are entirely
black.  This makes it tough to read them!  Anyway, the question is,
what am I doing wrong? I am sure it is the RGBBackColor call, because
if I change them all to RGBForeColor and change the EraseRect to
FillRect, everything works fine.  I am not willing to leave it like
this because what I am doing is really the background of the window.
