Just read my article in the first issue of "Transactor for the Amiga". :-)

The secret is:

	Open your window
	save the pr_WindowPtr field of the Process structure
	set pr_WindowPtr to point to your window.
	...
	Restore the old pr_WindowPtr
	Close the window

See "libraires/dosextens.h" for the definition of the Process struture.
Complete source code is avaiable in Transactor for the Amiga.
