Can anyone out there tell me why the following code does not draw
or put any text in the window?


#include <suntool/sunview.h>
#include <suntool/tty.h>

Frame MainWindow;
Tty   tty;
Pixwin *pw;

main()
{
  MainWindow = window_create(NULL, FRAME, FRAME_LABEL, "Sun-Cimple", 0);
  tty = window_create(MainWindow, TTY, 0); 
  pw = (Pixwin *)window_get(MainWindow,WIN_PIXWIN);

  pw_vector(pw, 100, 100, 200, 100, PIX_SRC, 1);
  pw_vector(pw, 100, 200, 200, 200, PIX_SRC, 1);
  pw_vector(pw, 100, 100, 100, 200, PIX_SRC, 1);
  pw_vector(pw, 200, 100, 200, 200, PIX_SRC, 1);
  pw_text(pw, 125, 150, PIX_SRC, 0, "Hey, I'm Some Text\n");

  window_main_loop(MainWindow);
}

From the bottom of page 92 in the SunView Programmer's Guide:

"Aside from the canvas pixwin, all windows, REGARDLESS OF TYPE,
have a pixwin which is available as the value of WIN_PIXWIN.  However
most applications should not need to explicityly write pixels into
other types of windows."

Of course, my application would love to be able to write to a TTY 
window, which is what I'm trying to do.


Any help is severly appreciated...
