I'm trying to move bitmaps and lines across the screen. For lines, the ROP2
mode NOTXORPEN seems to do the trick. However, the same (ternary) mode for 
ROP, that is, for the bitmaps, doesn't have a name, so it's not in <windows.h>,
say. According to a Petzold formula, the HIWORD of the mode should be 0x99. 
But what's the LOWORD? I have no idea what the low word even *means*. There 
seem to be about 65536 possible values...

Would anyone be kind enough to look it up? No, I don't know where. Is this 
what is meant by "clueless"?

Thanks in advance,
--
