Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had some ideas about how to open additional windows and draw to them?

Something along the lines of:

Graphics 640,480,0 ' Create a default window
mywin = CreateWindow(x,y,w,h,flags) ' Create a new OS window
UseWindow(mywin) ' Use mywin for drawing
DrawRect 5,5,10,10 ' Draw a rect in mywin
Flip ' Flip mywin buffers
UseWindow(0) ' Use default graphics window
DrawRect 10,10,5,5 ' Draw a rect in default window
Flip ' Flip default window buffers

I guess it will be included in the GUI module, but it would be nice to get started now :)
