  I know that AmigaDOS doesn't support the duplication of FileHandles
(which makes it rather difficult to pass a FileHandle to another process)
[Yes, I know we've been through this before] but doesn't "run" have to do
something of the sort to allow a "background" process write to the same
window? This is essentially the type of thing that I want to do.
Does an 'Open("*",MODE_OLDFILE)' find the current input, current window
(pr_WindowPtr?), console task (pr_ConsoleTask) or what?

  In case anyone wants to know what I'm doing---email me. I'm afraid I'll
get flamed otherwise.

  (Hint: Remember my posting about Manx && fexecv() && redirection? I
never got an answer. :-) )
