I want to write a program with one user interface task and one drawer
task. The UI task sends drawing commands to the drawer task.
The UI task opens a window and initializes the drawer task by giving
it a copy of the window's RastPort.

Now for the question:
Is it possible to have two tasks draw into the same window (RastPort)
where each task uses different clipping regions?
Can each task add it's own clipping in some way?
