Could someone please help me on what is probable somthing dumb I'm not doing? I"m opening a window to workbench, and would like to print some text in it, then wait & close. If I start it from CLI, all's fine. But, if I start it from WorkBench via an icon, a small window opens up at position 10,10, with a size of 320 x 80, with back/front, grag, and size gadgets with the program name in the title area - Then my window opens up, but all displays go to the first window! AAAAAAAACCCKKKKKK! Were is the smaller window comming from? And how do I print text to my window? I know I can open a CON: window and use write() to write to it, but there has to be a solution to this and I really want to be able to controll the gadgets in the window. I've even compiled a simple pgm that only opens a window on the WorkBench screen & closes with the same results. I use SAS/C on an amiga 500.
