[Coco] NitrOS-9 and VDGINT

[Bill Pierce]

Bob, as I told Allen in an email... termvdg is hard coded for window number 0. Just renaming it won't work. You are trying to load a window number 0 over a window number 0. You already have a term in the boot... use v1.dw.
Why is everyone so intent on loading the term? The only way you're going to get 2 terms in memory to work is first, to rename internally, 2nd to renumber (internally) as well.
That's why there's 7 more vdg descriptors. v1-v7

I just followed my own instructions on a freshly built repo disk in both VCC and my Coco 3. Both worked flawlessly.
Again, the instructions:

merge nitros9/6x09l2/modules/scf/covdg.io nitros9/6x09l2/modules/scf/v1.dw >/dd/cmds/vdgs (replace x with your cpu)
attr /dd/cmds/vdgs e pe  (this may not be needed)
load vdgs
iniz /v1
shell i=/v1&    (the & is important as it releases the calling shell)
<clear>
done.

I'm doing a video right now to prove it works.

OK....
I merged covdg.io and term_vdg.dt, modified TERM to TORM, set the 
attributes.
I then loaded that file, and iniz'd torm.
when I CLEAR to the 32x16 screen, I get a green screen with non-blinking 
blue curcsor, and my system locks up.

After resetting, I loaded and iniz'd again, but this time typed "shell 
i=/torm&". This gave me a shell in /torm, but commands give error 207 
(memory full). Commands like CHD and CHX (and I assume any built-in 
shell command) works ok.

Also, CLEARing back to my "normal" window and typing any command returns 
error 207.

"termvdg" in the module directory. That's how I always did it.
