Gack!  Another little prob. here.   I've written some nifty little
text-display words that are as fast as/faster than Blitz.  Type a screen full
of characters and they just appear there to the eye.  Well, that's all very
neat and nice and nifty, but it interferes with things like gadgets and menus,
etc.  I don't want to do a locklayerrom() before my call (and that woiuld only
solve a tiny part of the problem, anyway.)  so, I decided to open a
SUPER_BITMAP, GIMMEZEROZERO window (in a customscreen) so that I could draw
my text into it's own bitmap without disturbing anybody.  The problem is that
I am drawing into the bitmap, but the bitmap isn't being displayed on the
screen.  Is there any trick to doing this?  The window is a BACKDROP,
BORDERLESS, GIMMEZEROZERO, SUPER_BITMAP window in a screen with a depth of
one.  My words draw into the bitplane in the BitMap of my window (which is the
only one open on the screen) but nothing (as I said) is being displayed on the
screen.

Help! Please? ... Thanks!  ;-)
