Right. NULL: *does* work. But let me qualify your statement
just a little. Not only does it have to be a *valid* device-handler,
it must also accept Open("*", 1006) IN ALL CASES! That is, you cannot
set pr_ConsoleDevice to a filesystem handler because Open("*",1006)
will fail if "*" is already open!
I have been testing NULL: at with my cron (setting pr_ConsoleDevice
to DeviceProc("NULL:"), fclose(stderr), and EndCLI'ing the console window
that started it and everything works fine!
