What is the relationship between NeWS windows and GL windows?
When I call winopen(), the resulting window looks suspiciously
similar to "framebuffer /new DefaultWindow send".  Does the
GL library create a NeWS window to coincide with the internal
GL window?  Or is it the other way around?  I've looking through
the documentation and haven't found this addressed anywhere.
Did I miss it?

If there exists a NeWS window instance that corresponds to the
GL window, how can one access it (e.g. thru CPS, but how does
one access the actual instance)?  Can I change the value of
DefaultWindow and expect subsequent winopen()'s to reflect this
change? (e.g. suppose I want my GL windows to have scroll bars,
and hence, use the ScrollWindow class).

I need to be enlightened.  Thanks...
