Subject: GRX20 problems resolved.

Hi, everyone. I found out what I was doing wrong in my program, and 
thought I'd post it for other newbies. When you want to use the 
Grx2.0 GrCreateContext and GrBitBlt functions, make _certain_ that 
the video mode is initialized _before_ you try to create the 
context, otherwise a NULL value is returned, and no compile-time or 
run-time errors will flag.

Now, as an aside, would someone put this in the FAQ? I'm not a great 
C programmer, but neither am I a _total_ idiot, and this had me 
stumped for forever. Even better would be better procedural outlines 
on graphics functions in the library in the documenation. (I realize 
that this was beta, and documentation is still being written).

Anyway, I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm bitching, 'cuz I'm not. Also, 
thanks to all the people (alright, just Bill) who helped me with 
this.

Cheers,
Jeff
