Well im making slow progress...

I just figured out the way to fiddle with the direct x stuff in bmax..

...pusudo code...
'Direct x Display enable with the stencil buffer
SetGraphicsDriver(D3D7Max2DDriver(),(GRAPHICS_BACKBUFFER | GRAPHICS_STENCILBUFFER))
Local driver:TD3D7Max2DDriver=D3D7Max2DDriver:TD3D7Max2DDriver()    'Pull access to the directx7 device?
... later on ...
'Create the display..
Graphics 800,600,32,DISPLAY_HZ
... then ...
driver.SetMouseVisible(False)  'urika moment!
'direct x 7 ......
driver.device.SetRenderState D3DRS_ALPHAREF,$80   'an example of using direct x stuff!
...

Thats ment more as a hint for others, rather then something that should compile!
