Well, I thought it might be important to know who sends the error message, and
I "strings"ed the /etc/lddrv/wind, and associated files in the lddrv dir.
Then I checked /unix and /lib/shlib. Then I checked /etc/wmgr. The error
shows up in /etc/wmgr. So probably, you did create the extra windows/devices,
but you would have to get around the wmgr. I suspect you might be able to use
them in some program, much as the "pty"s can be used by GNUEmacs, but you'll
probably be stuck until you find a way to modify wmgr.
