Ok, I've "RTFM"ed and "UTS,L"ed and I still don't see any mention of this: It would be nice to make use of backing store every once in a while. Especially with programs like xmh and xcalendar. That way when parts of them are obscured I wouldn't have to wait for the program to update them. I've tried this stuff out with other simpler programs like xmille and it works real well. S...o How can I tell programs like xmh to use backing store when creating all of their widgits? Furthermore, how could anyone even tell the Xt library routines to use backing store when creating *any* widget? I would have expected something like "XtNbackingstore" but there isn't anything like that which I can find. What's the deal? Richard
