I've successfully opened a window (but no more than that).  

1) Null pointers must be assigned to ADDRESS(0) not NIL.
   This took me a while, I guess that is what a C null pointer look like.

2) S := "Window Title";  window.Title := ADR(S);
   This seems to do the trick for titles in screens and windows.

3) I'm told by TDI that Windows.CloseWindow doesn't work.  Note that
   CloseWindow is also an IDMPFlag...

4) DOSProcessHandler.Exit doesn't seem to work either.

That's all I've been able to figure out in a few days of playing.
I can't get Wait to wait for a CloseWindow signal, so my screen and window
come up and close down immediately.  Anybody have a working window?
