  Get rid of newcon: and try ConMan. It's a very popular *shareware* 
console device replacement by Bill Hawes. Version 1.3 has the ability
to open up on a specific screen if you know its address, or to open
up on the front screen. The latter is very useful from AREXX scripts.
Just be sure  to close any such windows before closing the application
(and thus the screen).
