No can do.  A device driver is a TASK, not a PROCESS.  I handle this by
having an external program open the CON: window and pass the handle to
the driver, then using the DOS packet interface to read and write the
window.  Of course, I only use mine for debugging, so it's not too much
hassle to do this.  If you need to be able to pop up a window at any time,
I suggest having an external process server waiting around to open windows
for you on request (requests obtained via message ports).  Alternatively,
you can open the window via intuition.library and read and write it the
hard way.
