I need to create a new background screen. I have a file that has data describing a series of lines and I have a bitmap that displays another series of lines. I can create create a window that displays these lines in it, but I want to keep that display around after the pgm has stopped executing and I don't want to click on that window and have it come to the top of the "stack" of windows. I have looked at the xgranite program in the src tapes, but am having trouble transferring what I see there, to what I want to do. I hope that this is a deceent question for you folks, I am relatively new to X. alice coker acoker@ub.d.umn.edu duluth, minn
