I'd like to write a script: device (using M2Amiga) that can be used as a 
replacement for con: to do this.  My idea is to have script: open a con:
window and then just pass the I/O to/from the con: window and echo it 
to a file.  My question is what is involved in getting the Amiga to 
recognize my program as a device, or has something like this already been
done?
