I'm not sure if this was the correct way of doing things, but for
an application I wrote which used windows, buttons, etc I first
created a fram and then a window with this frame as its parent:
f = new Frame(WServer.theServer, false, null, 100, 128, Color.lightGray);
win = new Window(f, "foo", Color.lightGray, 100, 128);
<other stuff deleted>
f.map();
The call to f.map() maps the frame onto the screen along with any of its
children (contents). If I had not put a window into f then it would come
up grey (gray). This example uses the default WServer, which is in
awt.WServer.
Hope this helps,
Mark.
