I had come to the same conclusion regarding the pr_WindowPtr member, and
am still looking for a relatievely easy way to find the window. I really do
think it should not be necessary to dispatch packets and muck about with
message ports, but so far no luck finding a link to the CLI window.
I don't know what Jim is trying to do, but I am trying to attach
AtermClock to a CLI window (the one I launch the ClockLoader from). It's a
gadget, and as such doesn't mess up the scrolling like a window does.
The next thing I want to do is to attach menus to the CLI window, mainly
just for the excercise, but possibly for a practical reason if it works
out. I can think of lots of ways to use that pointer. 🙂
