There were some comments about how the Stevie editor doesn't start up
right when `run' command is used.  In Stevie, the `amiga.c' utilizes
Input() and IsInteractive() functions as a guide to determine whether it
is running interactively, from the current window (the one CLI or AmigaShell
uses).

This is obviously not a good choice.  If we use the example below:

	/* test.c */

	#include <exec/types.h>
	#include <libraries/dosextens.h>

	main()
	{
		struct FileHandle *mytty, *Input();
		BOOL   type, IsInteractive();

		mytty = Input();
		type  = IsInteractive(mytty);
		printf("type = %d\n", type);
	}

One would get (with both CLI and AmigaShell):

1> test			1> run test			1> test <test.c
type = -1		[CLI 2]				type = 0
			type = 0

A wiser choice is definitely to have Stevie open its own WB window and
run from there.
