Dear jonathan et al-

I don't know what smala is, but I sure do appreciate your and everyone
else's input into this stuff. I really like your One-EF-Wonder solution!

For now, I'm going the simple, redraw every single time method, as the
logic I have to perform with my grid is very complex, and I'll need to
spare every bit of my savvy for that part.

When that part is up and going, though, I am sure I'm going to have to
go to a Gworld for speed, which will be good, I think.

Currently things are going well, but in my early scroll bar experiments,
a rectangle that I draw on the window whose x and y depend upon the
current thumb, is crashing when I hold down the scroll bar arrows. The
little box moves just great for a hundred or so times, then
presto-freezo. If I force an interrupt, I can see I'm in the depths of
"Andy" somewhere. Anyone have any insight?

Also, still no clue as to what to do about my giant 20K global records
which keep my includes from compiling when they get to the "globals"
area. Help?

Thanks everyone!

PB
