   The way I do things like that is to "winpush" the application back,
open a null window using "noport", then close the window.  The window
you executed the program from will now be ready for input, just do
standard keyboard i/o.  I have to do this on our 3130, I don't know
if all this is necessary on a 4D or not.  We have a 4D/240 for evaluation
and the programs I have ported there use this technique.
