If you don't need standard input/output, command line parsing etc, call your
main program _main() rather than main(). This will override the provided
_main() which does startup stuff (including opening the window) and then
calls your main().
_main() takes a single argument, a pointer to a string containing the command
line if started from CLI. (You can tell whether you were started from workbench
by examining a structure which is set up for you --- forget the exact name and
type, think it's WBenchMsg.)
If you do need some of the startup stuff, then you can edit and recompile the
source. Think the standard startup is called c.o, with source c.a. Lattice
also provided other flavours of startup for load-and-stay-resident code etc.
Have fun.
