In article <3665@jade.BERKELEY.EDU> I wrote asking for a way to
close and reopen a window with a console driver attached without
having to recreate the IOStdReq & Ports associated with it.

Leo Schwab suggests:

>> 	Have you tried zeroing out the IOStdReq before re-using it?

Nice idea, but it doesn't work. I even went so far (finally) as to
DeleteStdIO on the IOStdReq structs, and then CreateStdIO on them when
the window was opened.

It no work. The last character typed still shows up in the input
buffer of the new window. Also, the system crashes after a couple of
open/close cycles.

Surely someone has done this kind of thing before. I'd sure like to
know how.
