Yes, he's sure. I needed to turn an arbitrary level 2 FILE * pointer
into a RAW: or CON: window, and looked at the ConsPkts code (which only
worked on StdIn) and made it work on anything (in the Lattice world).
They have a pointer to the DOS FileHandle that is returned when you
use Open() to open a console window. (as in Open("CON:",..))
