This must be simple, but I can't figure it out. (No surprise):

After reading through the RKMs, I've figured out how to:
(1) use Intuition to open windows, screens, etc.
and
(2) use exec to set up viewports, etc. and how to doubble buffer displays,
	writing to one while displaying another etc.

My question:
	How do I use double buffering and Intuition windows together?
	Is this a reasonable question or am I missing something fundamental?
	If I still use LoadView() and WaitTOF(), what do I use as the
	argument to LoadView()?

Another related question:
	I want to draw about 2000 pixels in a window. Since these points may
	be located arbitrarily anywhere in the window, the easiest way to do
	this is to use WritePixel(). But as I understand the RKMs, each
	WritePixel() occurs only after 1/60 sec., which means 2000 pixels
	takes 2000/60 = 33 secs? This doesn't seem right, but I do know 
	that WritePixel() takes longer than I would like. Is there a faster
	way to do this, short of writing directly to BitMap memory?

Thanks to all.
