I was answering the question of "How do I attach a CON: stream to my
window." Which is decidedly more difficult. Attaching the console.device
gives you the ability to send and receive IO requests to the window/keyboard
but the CON: lets you use the stdio library of C and that can be a feature.

I agree about the need for better documentation, but it's coming. The new
Hardware manual it pretty whizzy and the new IntuiExecGraphiLib book should
be an improvement as well.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
