   Sorry, I'm confused. Isn't the refresh of the monitor   
   separate from updating the buffer?   
      
   Even if I only do a full screen worth of BosWritePixel() calls   
   once per second, doesn't some piece of hardware read that   
   buffer independently and refresh the physical screen as often   
   as required, so 30 fps (all frames identical) as per recommendation?   
      
   Or is the issue that I need to complete that write of the   
   screen within 1/30 second so that a partial screen is   
   not read and acted upon by the hardware?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
