simple line drawing

I'm fairly new to SwiftForth and windows, not to Forth. I want to be able
to draw a graph, sort of like an oscilloscope trace, continuously as data is
produced by a simulation. I see a class called CANVAS which has such
methods as MoveTo, LineTo, Line, and SetPixel. A also see the Windows
functions called LineTo, MoveToEx, and SetPixel in the source file for
CANVAS. It looks as though I could draw a line in the console window if I
only knew the HDC of that window. Am I on the right track? Can anyone show
me how to use CANVAS and/or learn what the HDC of the console window is?

Thanks,
Charley.
