wild guess: don't you have to flush the window buffer to make this show up?

long if fn QDIsPortBuffered( port )
QDFlushPortBuffer( port, 0 ) // flush dirty parts
if waitFlag == 0 then exit fn // don't wait
ticks = fn Tickcount + 1
while ticks >= fn Tickcount // wait for buffer to actually draw
(asynchronously)
wend
end if
