C.K.,

RichEdit uses a "stream text in from a file" method of putting text in the
edit control, which is probably why Derek suggested it wouldn't be a good
"dos" window emulation.  I think the text *replaces* any already there,
instead of adding to the end of existing text.

Any window can have text written to it by wPuts, you just have to
re-position the cursor yourself instead of simple crlf.  See if the demo
example Wstyles.exw helps.
