Sorry, forgot that.  I'm was using the window's rastport.  Now I'm using
the screens Rastport ( since I'm doing my own clipping - I read somewhere
the screen's rastport is quicker because it doesn't do any clipping ...
is this true? )

ps.  anyone have any particular things they would like to see in a shell
( I'm toying with the idea of writing one ).  Email me any thoughts.  Thanx.
