MemHandle bitmapHandle = DmGet1Resource('Tbmp', bitmapID);
WinDrawBitmap((BitmapType *)MemHandleLock(bitmapHandle), x, y);
MemHandleUnlock(bitmapHandle);
DmReleaseResource(bitmapHandle);

:)) this of course extracts a resource with type 'Tbmp' and a given
ID out of the .prc data area. :P
hope this helps.
