No, But...
You can get messages from your other windows when they are activated and,
when you receive one, call ActiveWindow() for your keyboard input
window.
One possible negative point to this is that users might try to activate
your output windows and be confused by their inability to do so (The
border will de-ghost and reghost.)
Another way would be to use the same IDCMP port for all your windows
and receive keyboard input from any or all of them.
