	Here's what I want to do.  Program X starts up, opens a 
custom screen and perhaps a window, and then Execute()'s another
program Y.  I wish for Y to write into the window opened by X
(or, alternatively, Y can open a window and attach it to X's screen
and "inherit" (for want of a better term) X's screen's info).
	Is this possible?  Can Y find X's screen/window and use it?  Is
it dangerous?  I suppose I could have Y open it's own screen but
I prefer it this way ... oh, I'm using Manx C if that's any help.
	Apologies if this isn't techie enough for .tech.

	Thanks,
	Brian Russ
