I'm programming in TML Pascal II a I would like to
write some text information to a window.  I would
also like to have it refreshed when it gets covered
up.  For instance, another window is moved on top
of the output window, then the output window is 
brought to the front, with text redrawn.  The text
is not always the same, so I would like some method
where I could write the text once and not have to
worry about 'what' is being refreshed, just that it
gets refreshed.  What is the best method to acomplish
this?  Would modeless dialogs be better than windows?
Thanks for your help.  By the way, let's hope that
ROM 4 machine makes it out the door.
