Some of you might remember me.  I'm the guy who was trying to animate
a little man accross walking accross the "intricate backgroud"... 

  I figured it out.  You see, I just made a function called getimage()
that is very similar to the getimage in Borland C++.  Here it is, for
those of you who might need it in the future.
  You just call it like this:

subbmp=getimage(screen, xlocation, ylocation, width , height)

  xlocation and ylocation give the coordinates for the top-left
corner of the section you're going to copy.  Width and height...
well, you get the idea.  With this, you can copy a little rectangle
of the screen and store it into a bitmap.  Great for animating things.

BITMAP *getimage(BITMAP *bmp2lookat, int x, int y, int w, int h) {
   BITMAP *returnme;
   int loopx, loopy;
   for(loopy=0;loopy<=h;loopy++)
    for(loopx=0;loopx<=w;loopx++)
     putpixel(returnme, loopx, loopy, getpixel(bmp2lookat, loopx+x,
loopy+y));
   return returnme;
} /* End getimage function */
