Having finally gotten all the docs, plus the latest C compiler
(3.03B), I retreated from the large project to some easy stuff/general
housekeeping.

One of the easy things shows up some interesting behavior in the 3.03B
compiler. The thing in question is a digital clock that only chews up
one display line, (designed to hide out of the way in the screen title
line). Run out of CLI, everything works fine, and I was real happy
with it. However, when I copied over the default clock program, and
ran it from the WorkBench, low and behold if it didn't create a window
(besides the one it put the time in), that did nothing.

Some poking reveals that the C compiler startup code creates the
window by default when it's running from the WorkBench. There doesn't
seem to be any documentation on turning it off. I tried recompiling
_main.c with -DTINY and linking that in, but it crashes. I finally
gave up, included stdio.h (thus growing my program by 4.5K) and
fclosed stdin.

There's gotta be a better way. Someone want to tell me how, and what
piece of documentation I should have read?

	Thanx,
