I am using the LispWorks Interface Builder in Windows XP to create a 
display-pane.  I have set the initargs :background and :foreground to :red, 
but the appearance of the display-pane does not change.  Is there something 
else I need to be doing?

If I type this

  (capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:display-pane
                               :text "foo"
                               :background :red))

into a listener, I see a red background.  Maybe you're seeing a bug in
the interface builder, dunno.

The best place to ask this kind of questions is the LispWorks mailing
list.

Cheers,
Edi.

Thanks.  That worked.  And I've subscribed to the mailing list.
