There is an example of mixing messages from intuition, ARexx and a standard i/o
(CLI type) window by David N. Junod called "Modular Event Processing" that
appeared in the Jan/Feb issue of AmigaMail from Commodore. It's written for the
Lattice 5.04 compiler and is very clearly written. The code is available on the
Lattice BBS.
        I wish I could give you a source that was a little closer to home for
you, but that's the only place I know of to get it.
