How do you open an invisible window in a screen, like the little window
in the corner of the screen uShow uses to emulate a close gadget? Do you
have to create a window and copy stuff from the screen's bitmap (I hope
not)?

Alternatively, how can you get mouse events in a screen?

I'm trying to display a screen without copying the bitmap over from an
internal buffer. That works... but I also want to get mouse events.

Opening a SUPERBITMAP window doesn't work, because that kills the
front/back/drag gadgets. Making a small window for the close gadget,
and making it superbitmap, and giving it the window's bitmap doesn't
work either.

What does uShow do? Perhaps a source posting would help, if it's not in
assembly...
