Joe – The WriteString(), WriteLn(), etc., functions only work with DOS windows. You found that out when you used OpenInputOutput(). There are some libraries available that allow you to perform simple I/O with Intuition windows. Rob Peck's book "Programmer's Guide to the Amiga" has examples (in C). If you're interested I posted some translations of the programs in that book in DL12 here. There is some info in that file on how to obtain the complete set of translations. If you want, I can post just the file(s) that pertain to the console device.
