Answering my own message now. (:
I have the graphics working now, so what do I do with it? (:
Are there prgrams to use? And is it possible to put up a background
graphic on it, like in X.
Also I ran into one troubling thing, whenever I quit out of X I don't get my
text (grapic) screen back. What can I do there?
Thanks to everyone who helped, and especially to JOn for the univbe
