$ One thing I have always wondered about: Since many operations start
$a blit and return (i.e. Draw()), how can you really be sure when your bitmap's
$raster's can be freed? Is there some call one can make which ensures any
$blitter usage from the previous graphics library call will complete before
$returning?
It's called WaitBlit().
This can be called anytime. Even if you do not own the blitter.
