Oh, that's easy... you just call Wimp_GetWindowInfo, and read the number
of icons... A nice feature of the Wimp, that... ;-)
(But seriously, the only thing to do is use a default buffer size that's
definitely big enough for *any* of your windows...)

Plonk it in, as in your example, but...
I use x and y offsets that ensure the caret is outside the visible workspace
of the window, so there is no way that a caret can 'accidentally' appear
in the window...
