I am trying to print some stuff and I discovered that when I open
a printing port, I get the portrect of the screen.  This is somewhat
of a problem for me, as I would like to use the entire page for
printing.  Anyway, after many games I figured out that I should change
the clipRect with the clipRect call, the viewRgn with a rectRgn call
(directely accessing the grafPort record element), and the
bitmap's bounds variable.  I can envision a few problems with what
I did:  (1) I didn't change the rowBytes or baseAddr in the bitmap,
(2) I directely manipulated the bitmap, and (3) I directely manipulated
the viewRgn.  Can anyone offer some expert critism on what I did, pro
and con?
