The window specification is given in one of the examples.  Basically
its the standard AmigaDOS window specification, ie

NEWCON:10/10/100/100/Test

You can also use other stream devices like NIL: (for no window at all),
AUX: (RS232 I/O) and so on.

Assign HERE: ""
will do it for you.  Usually I tack on the Shell number
when I use this technique, so I can run more than one of
these scripts at the same time, ie

Assign HERE<$$>: ""

(to get this effect in an IconX script, be sure to start
 your script file with a . )
