Can one of the BETA-testers for the new TOS-release answer the following
question: what is the output of the following program under the new TOS ?

	    #include <osbind.h>
	    #define Stdout	1
	    #define PRN	-3

	    main()
	    {
		    int	f;

		    Crawio('A');

		    Fforce(Stdout,PRN);
		    Crawio('B');

		    f = Fopen("file.tst",2);
		    Fforce(Stdout,f);
		    Crawio('C');
	    }

In the older versions this little program crashes the ST after printing 'A' on
the monitor and 'B' on the printer.
      Should Crawio() be redirectable or not ?
      - If yes, then 'C' has to appear in the file.
      - If not, then 'B' and 'C' have to appear on the screen.
