- Thank you! I have now used the "manual" method and it seems to work all
- right. When reading inside Macintosh and other books of this kind it
- seems as though you could have the toolbox draw the windows contents
- (even in a changing window*) every time the window needs to be updated.
- The information concerning this area seems to be a bit "sparse" in these
- books.

- Thank you again.
