It isn't easy using the standard Amiga console.device. If you have ConMan (and you should cuz it's nearly free) you can open a console with a W0x keyword and have the console automatically attach to your window (or even more fun us S0x and get one on your custom screen. There was an article by Andy Finkel in a past Amiga Mail about how to do this with the Amiga console device however it was a rather ugly hack. The Conman method is much cleaner. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
