This can be a part of what you want:

//-----------open your window
window = OpenWindow( newwindow );
//-----------attach a console to your window
WriteMsg->io_Data   = window;
WriteMsg->io_Length = sizeof(*window);
OpenDevice( "console.device", 0, WriteMsg, 0 );
//-----------resize the console into the window
WriteCon( "\x9b\x38\x78" );      /* 8 columns from left */
WriteCon( "\x9b\x31\x32\x79" );  /* 12 lines from top */
