Thanks for the very good explanation of "drawing transaction". I wasn't 
entirely sure what Sjoerd meant and wanted some clarity. I'd still like 
to know what is meant by "when the script is done". This seems to imply 
that there is a transaction of some sort. I think it really depends on 
what he means by "script" in this context. The reason I ask for 
clarification of these terms is because I'm thinking of how it might be 
implemented on Internet Explorer. So I'm interested when changes should 
be applied. I assumed that changes were applied immediately any of the 
drawing methods were called. Am I missing something?
