:What I need is transparent text-writing.

: This didn't work though.
: It wouldn't done the job either, since it would most likely change the

:  I made this just before I left the office so I haven't tried -really- hard

	When you draw text, the background fillrect is drawn if
GrSetGCUseBackground is TRUE.  Otherwise, only the text
is drawn, and not the background.  Let me know if this
doesn't seem to work.

: Hmmm...  Right now I only use the nano-x api.  Not the microwindows one.
: Do this mean trouble ?
: 
	Nope.  I just haven't added the color GrDrawImage() routine for the 
Nano-X api.  I'll add it this weekend, I've finished it in Microwindows API.

No, I've got screenshots implemented by uncommenting out an #if 0 in
devdraw.c's GdCloseScreen routine.  If changed to #if 1, microwindows
will write a file called "file" when you hit ESC and exit, and then the
bmp/makebmp program "makebmp file file.bmp" will create a .bmp file
from the file "file."  Do that and send me the .bmp, I'll convert it to .gif
and post it.  I'd love to see it!
