It isn't easy using the standard Amiga console.device. If you have
ConMan (and you should cuz it's nearly free) you can open a console
with a W0x<window-address> keyword and have the console automatically
attach to your window (or even more fun us S0x<screen-adddress> and
get one on your custom screen. There was an article by Andy Finkel
in a past Amiga Mail about how to do this with the Amiga console
device however it was a rather ugly hack. The Conman method is much
cleaner.
