Hi there,

I have an interesting question.  Is it possible to reopen stdout to
point to a custom window on either the workbench screen or a custom
screen.  I have manx 5.0 w/sdb, and the abbacus "Advanced C
programming for the amiga." 

I thought perhaps, one might delve into the exec/intuition/dos  lists to
find where the current stdout windiw structure is located.  Substitute
a pointer to your new window, and then replace it when you are done.
This is an UGLY suggestion, however and would be better left undone.
However, as my roommate says, ``theres more than one way to KLUDGE a
cat.''

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Note: I know that I could just
reopen stdout with the filename CON:, but I would prefer to have
control of the window.

					Thanks in advnace,
					Mark Henning
