I have a window and its ID, i.e the 32 bit integer returned by
XtWindow().  I want to create a screen and have that screen end up in
my window.  Here's my attempt (note that I don't know Lisp :-( )

(setq epoch::screen-properties (list
(cons 'parent epoch::string-to-resource "8388629" Window)))
(epoch::map-screen (epoch::create-screen))

This doesn't work.  I get:

    Wrong number of arguments: #<subr cons>, 4

I gather from the manual that I have to convert the window ID into
some kind of atom or something, but I'm obviously missing something.
I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing here, no examples, and a
fairly obtuse manual.  Does anyone have any experience with this sort
of thing?  Any code examples?  Any tips appreciated here.  Thanks!

    Peter
