Yep, you can open up windows from tools (Command & GetListItem do, for
example).  In order to open windows, you must call InitGraf.  Don't
call any of the other init routines because the shell already has.  The
reason you have to call InitGraf is that the shell sets up a separate
A5 world for tools. Be sure to close/dispose of your window(s) before
you quit your tool.
