[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Idea, was Re: Offscreen Bitmap

Hmm, this has got me thinking now.  Would it be possible to write an FKEY
that would AUTOMATICALLY provide backup bitmaps of all an application's
windows when invoked ... it would be messy, maybe; you'd have to search
through the application's windows, create bitmaps for all of them, install
hooks in the QD bottlenecks, trap resizing, opening, closing, etc., but
still ... wouldn't this be a wonderful thing for users of applications whose
redraw is pokey?  Especially under MultiFinder ...
