  Yes, you need to set up a double buffered display as outlined in
the RKM under Advanced Topics.  There are other ways to do double
buffering as well (set up two separate views and use LoadView to
flip between, that way you don't have to diddle with copper lists at
run time [as in the RKM example]).
  The Benchmark M2 package has an example of double buffered bobs,
but you are using C, so...  (Someone out there must have a C version
:-) ).
