I have just joined the world of 4D series, and have a problem with
my graphics application software. I use the texport as dialog area; all
works well when I run the application by typing the command to
Irix in a shell. But when I start the application from Workspace,
all attempts at scanf on stdin return EOF, without giving me a
chance to type anything in the textport. I have already noticed
that the console icon must be opened prior to starting the
application from Workspace. What else am I missing?

Any clues would be appreciated.
