<><I am trying to get a small C program working that is using both Intuition and

<Actually, I did an example that did this a long time ago.  You open an
<Intuition window; the example shows how to start a console handler
<using it.  I posted it here, on BIX, and its on Fish disk 38.

I missed it - but I'm glad to know that it exists. I'll look at it
when I get home.

<Once you make your window a con: window you can printf, or whatever
<to it.  The example uses only one cheap trick, and I promise to
<rewrite it without the trick after 1.4 :-)

I assume the cheap trick is how you get from the console handler to a
con: device?

<>Now, if someone knows of a way supported by CBM of getting a
<>FileHandle pointing to a window after you've opened a file, that would
<>very usefull. I'd like to see it if you know how.

<You can also find the Intuition window pointer of a window
<opened as a CON: window, by sending the con-handler a
<DISKINFO packet.  That example was by Carolyn Scheppner, and
<appeared on Fish disk 56.

I phrased that badly - I want to go the other way. Given an intuition
window with an attached console handler, I want a con: file name I can
use. I know about Carolyns code; I used it in my emulation of the Unix
plot() library so that unix code would port directly.
