One problem I have been trying to solve since I got my Amiga 
is how to get a window into raw mode WITHOUT opening a new
window.  I read in my AmigaDOS manual that there was an
"action packet type" which would do this, new to 1.2, but
after an afternoon fighting with it (since I have little
idea about packets, nor to where I was sending them), all I
managed to do was give gomf a workout :-) .  I
was also told that there was a library routine in 1.3 that 
would do this, but not having 1.3 includes, I couldn't
really go hunting for it.  How can this be done???

If possible, send C or assembly source.
Thanks in advance... JA.
