I believe this gets you the frontmost screen, which isn't necessarily the
active screen (which I suppose is the screen with the currently active
window on it).  You might try instead

	Lock = LockIBase();
	bm = IntuitionBase->ActiveScreen->BitMap;
	UnlockIBase(Lock);

Screens.h claims that Screen.BitMap is an extra copy of the RastPort
BitMap.  You'll have to figure out the offsets yourself, or use the
handy structure definitions in the Commodore assembly headers.

Anyway, you wanting be looking in the public parts of IntuitionBase.
Gfx isn't responsible for this sort of stuff--Intuition is.
