May I know what you are using now ?

It has worked for me thanks. I still have some blinking problems,
probably due to a drawOn: message that I redefined for my project, but
that will do for a demo.

I didn't see that parameter thanks again, it helps me. It is not still a
real application like in classical windowing system (with a well-defined
client area that I control and the separation between the application
and the instance) but it's probably due to my lack of comprehension of
the whole platform.
Thanks,
