Switching between RAW: and CON:, Best way?

Thanks to some help from the net, I used a RAW: console rather than a
CON: console for an application where I did not want input characters
echoed to the screen. I send an ACTION_SCREEN_MODE packet to the CLI
console to switch the CLI to RAW: mode upon startup, and CON: mode
before I exit. Everything works great.

The thing is, that it turns out that all this stuff to do with sending
packets seems a little complex to me. Is there perhaps a simpler way to
do this? Is there a magic escape sequence I can send a CON: window that
will switch it to a RAW: window and vice versa?

Also where is the ACTION_SCREEN_MODE packet documented in the RKMs? All
I could find was the reference to it in libraries/dosextens.h, which was
not particularly informative... (I got the info I have on it from a fish
disk.)
