Hi Greg,
  I've followed your suggestion and indeed I've found out what the concrete
class is,
   turns out it is : sun.awt.windows.WOffScreenImage. This class inherits
from WImage
   and implements the DrawingSurface interface, WImage inherits from Image
so
   I understand how createImage can return the Image class as it's return
type.
  What I couldn't find is the actuall implementation of these classes,
neither
   WOffScreenImage nor WImage extends Image's capabilities it merly
overrides some
   methods with empty implementation. Where is the actuall code ???

TIA,
  Eyal.
