Sounds like an excellent idea.  I don't know how to do that.  Can you point
me in the right direction?

Does that mean to create a secondary DC, write to that,  then Blit it to the
screen?  That or set up some kind of double buffering.  I figured that is
what DirectX and OpenGL do.  I don't know how to do that with API.
