Sounds like you need a good book on GEM.  A `workstation' is GEM
terminology for a virutal screen device, which can be placed on any
graphics device - the screen, a GEM metafile on disk, a printer, a
polaroid palette, etc.

Get a copy of the ST Pro GEM articles from one of the file servers - I
know lakesys has them.  Best intro to HOW TO PROGRAM GEM there is.
