Ok, a few questions on windowing.

First, how do you attach a console device to your window??  From what I see,
you can open the Console device, but there doesn't seem to be a spot to
specify which window to direct the output to.

Second, how do you get different tasks to use the same custom screen??  I
want to write a program that runs several tasks, each placing windows in the
same custom screen, how to I pass this pointer(message ports? If so, it seems
that I can only pass an address and a length through them, how do I convert
this back to data(I am using Modula-2)??)

Thank you for your assistance.
