I hope that there is still a chance to get this question answered:  how
can you get a CLI to work in the window of your choice?  I swear I've read
every page of the AmigaDos manuals, and searched through header files and
everything. 

I would like to finish MyCLI the way a CLI should be for the Amiga
(sorry but it is not Unix style - which may be a good idea:) with pulldown
menus for simple commands, a close gadget to use instead of EndCLI,
full-time directories on screen (tag & delete a bunch at a time), etc.


OK, so here is how far I have gotten:
	1. open custom screen
	2. open custom window with desired gadgets & menus
	3. open a console.device to work with window

At this point, I give up.  I want to use Execute() to run a program, but
I want to REDIRECT it's input and output to MY WINDOW.  Is there a sanctioned
way of doing this?  I have seen several people make similar requests, 
especially those who have worked on CLI replacements (Matt Dillon, for one).
CLI may have been an afterthought, but it is clearly getting the most
programs written for it (sad but true), and being able to get Intuition and
CLI to work together makes a lot of sense.
