I'm trying to use a black and white bitmap as a mask to selectively erase 
parts of the window.  I'm running into a problem with an inconsistency in 
behavior using winErase, winMask, and winOverlay.  The two perform 
differently on the Zire 71 and the Tungsten C simulators.  In particular:

using winOverlay and the WinCopyRectangle routine:

on the Zire 71 simulator:
(source) * (dest) = (output)
black * color = color
white * color = white

on the Tungsten C simulator:
black * color = black
white * color = white

Why are these performing differently?  Both simulators report having Palm OS 
4.5.  I have read about the transparancy bit, but since I am using an 
offscreen window, it should not have one (or at least it should be the 
same).  Any ideas?  I am open to suggestions on how to achieve the result 
using a different method, but I cannot think of a simpler way.

In all instances, the foreground and text color was black and background 
color was white.

Regards,
Tim Kostka
