I need to twiddle a window in ways that require closing and re-opening
it. I'd like to keep as much of the context around as possible, and
just close/re-open those things that really depend on the window.

I'm happy with the way everything works except the console.device. It
would appear that I can create the ports and IOStdReq structures once,
and then do the OpenDevice every time I open the window. Closing the
window then needs an AbortIO & CloseDevice. This works fine, except
that I keep getting spurious messages which cause the last character I
typed before the open/close to appear in the input stream. Not
reasonable.

Creating the ports & IOStdReq every time, and shutting them down to
close the window, works like a charm. But I shouldn't have to do all
that.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

	Thanx,
