The flesh hates everything about God. Since it resists everything about God, it resists every way we try to taste Him and know Him and love Him. And the more something enables us to find God and feast on Him, the more violently the flesh fights against it. It takes its battle to every quarter of the soul: When the mind wants to know God, the flesh imposes ignorance, darkness, error and trivial thoughts. The will can't move toward God without feeling the weight of stubbornness holding it back. And the affections, longing to long for God, are constantly fighting the infection of sensuality or the disease of indifference.

I've been doing this for a while. You have to update the windows with
InvalRect and the desktop and assorted other areas with CALL PAINTBEHIND
and CALL DRAWMENUBAR.

Just out of curiousity, are you able to draw to video memory in 16 bit
mode? I can't seem to puzzle that out, but 8 works fine for me anyway.

I have a code snippet to update the whole desktop and menubar, but windows
must be done normally.
