You may be assuming that whats typed is automatically reflected in the window.
Not so -- you have to read via CMD_READ, massage & interpret that data, and write
text via CMD_WRITE based on what you have read.  As an example, try writing
a little test program which writes (CMD_WRITE) every character received via
CMD_READ.
