The RastPort attributes for a console.device are stored in its ConUnit
structure.  These values are initially (on OpenDevice) taken from the
window's RastPort.  After that, they are changed via control and CSI
keyboard sequences.  The CTRL/C forces the console.device to re-initialize
its ConUnit structure with the values in the window's RastPort.
