the standard "text" drawing is to use the "copy" function.
this clobbers the background, and you get this nice white bar around
the text.. what you want to do, is the following:
WinEraseChars()
WinInvertChars()
first call sets the pixels where the characters are off.. and the
"invert" turns em all back on again :)
nice little trick i learnt way back :)
