I would like to know how to make dialog boxes that look like the ones
used in TPW.  Basically I would like to change the background of the
dialog box using bitmaps.  I have used the WRT to look at the dialogs
that come with TPW but I can't seem to figure out how the background
is made.  The bitmaps that are in the resources of TPW are very small
so the patterns just must be repeated repeated and that is what I would
like to know how to do.

I asked a question similar to this not too long ago but from the
one response that I got I can see that I did not give enough information
the first time so I hope this time I have given enough detail.
Thanks in advance
