- One final note... Flushing 2-bit windows with alpha to a 12-bit screen is

- depth, Frame's windows become 12-bits (with alpha), and in that case the
- flush is much faster.

- I don't limit the depth (at least I did nothing to limit it), but
- FrameMaker runs real slow on my NSC after it is launched. To speed it
- up, I change some characters to Red, then back to black, thus,
- according to Ali's explaination, promotes the windows to 12 bits.
- Is there an easier way?
