You should fire up a VMMaker tool and tell it your new path.

It is generated from the BitBltSimulation class.

Look at the subclasses of InterpreterPlugin, or implementors of 
#moduleName.

There have been other tourists here before you; as I recall, Adam 
Feuer and Stephen Pair have worked on VNC. Their work would probably 
be interesting.

Though the place to look for all of this is at sqXWindow.c. This 
handles the X11 event loop, and also handles BitBlt to the display.

Ah, yet another NW Squeaker! Now there's at least two from the 
Victoria area (you and John McIntosh, though I think he's in Sidney).
