(Dang computer doesn't do what I want, does what I say ... mumble.. mumble)

This is really simple. Would some LSC/Resource/Quickdraw person tell
me what's wrong ??

I have a picture in MacPaint, I want to show as the Title Screen in a window
for an application/game (to be posted when done).

OK here's what I do:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- put the selection box around the area (about 1/2 the screen size).
	actual coordinates are: top 25, left 03, bottom 225, right 508 
- Copy it out, pull down apple menu to scrapbook, paste the picture
	in it.
- go to ResEdit, paste the Picture in my built application.
- Info on it, set it to rsrc # 256
- I also make a WIND, rsrc# 256 also,:top 25, left 03, bottom 225, right 508 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(Don't flame, this code is from (hazy, anger filled) memory: )
I try two things in C:
1)
	MyWindPtr = GetNewWindow(256);
	MyPicHdl  = (PicHandle)GetPicture(256);
	SetWindowPic(MyWindowPtr, MyPicHdl); /* tried & operator on these */
	ShowWindow(MyWindPtr); /* something like this */
and
2)
	MyPicHdl  = (PicHandle)GetPicture(256);
	SomeRect = (**MyPicHdl).picFrame;
	MyWindPtr = NewWindow(&w_rec, &SomeRect, blah, blah);
	DrawPicture(&SomeRect, MyPicHdl); /* something like this */
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions are:

WHY don't these work?  WHAT specific code, exactly, would take a PICT rsrc and
show it in a screen???????

THANK YOU  - PLEASE...
