I've got 2 questions/thoughts about intuition screens: a) does anyone know how to get a DOS CON: device open on another screen? what exactly is the relationship between the console.device, which you use Exec to do i/o to, and which can be in any window, and the DOS console device which only comes up on the WB screen and echos everything you type? b) what intuition needs is more "standard screens" (it only has 1 now, WBENCHSCREEN). It would be cool if I could ask for a 320×200 4 plane screen, and intuition would open it up if there were none already existing, but if one already existed, intuition would open my window on it, and close the screen when no windows remained. This way, applications coulkd share non-standard display screens, thus saving memory and making things more convenient by putting the windows on the same screen. And the screens should come up with the colors set by preferences (which would have to be expanded for more colors). This doesn't sound like it would be too hard to make happen. All you'd have to do is SetFunction the OpenWindow and CloseWindow calls to do the screen stuff by (possibly) opening screens, modifying the Screen field in the window, and falling into the old routine. What does anyone think of this idea? we'd have to agree on some standard, but implementaion shouldn't be hard.
