Don't you mean OpenDevice?

By the way, the code fragment on page 279 of the AW version of RKM:L&D is
of interest:

OpenConsole(writerequest,readrequest,window)
struct IOStdReq *writerequest;
struct IOStdReq *readrequest;
struct Window *window;
{
	int error;

	writerequest->io_Data = (APTR)window;
	writerequest->io_Length = sizeof(*window);
	error = OpenDevice("console.device", 0, writerequest, 0);
	readrequest->io_Device = writerequest->io_Device;
	readrequest->io_Unit = writerequest->io_Unit;
	return error;
}
