Mark,
If the program you're using opens a public screen, you can open a window on
it by specifying the screen name in the console specification, as in
CON:0/0/100/300/Input/SCREENWhatEverName
Due to a bug in the CON: handler, you'll need to keep the screen name at
the end of the console spec. (Console options are usually independent of
order.)

Bill,
what do you mean a public screen. And how do I find the screen name??

Mark,
If you're using AmigaDOS 2.0, applications can open a screen and declare it
to be "public". This allows other software to share the screen in a
controlled and safe manner. The name of the screen should be documented
by the application.
Public screens were not supported prior to AmigaDOS 2.0.
