I am in the middle of authoring and X Application that I
had intended to use multiple TTY Subwindows on, but I have
ran into difficulty:

When I open up a single TTY subwindow, my program behaves
normally. With more then one TTY window open, Xview seems
to confuse stdin and stdout. (output intended for one window
winds up in another, etc etc etc.) I have checked my code
about, oh, a billion times, and I don't believe the problem is
with me. I know that SunView had a restriction on the number of
TTY subwindows to 1, because it couldn't keep track of
all of the stdio. Is the same limitation imposed on XView?

I am doing this all on a SPARC station running OpenWindows.

Please mail me any responses that have, and I'll summarize if 
people want me to...

Thanks in advance...
