[net.micro.att] UNIX PC wrastop

If you use the wrastop(3T) raster operations facility, you will note
that the first argument to wrastop is called w, the usual abbreviation
for window identifier (as returned by wgetsel()). It is not otherwise
documented. In trying to use it, I found out that using a window
identifier as the first argument to wrastop() can lead to a dropped core
or worse. I determined, by experimentation, that the first argument to
wrastop() should be a FILE DESCRIPTOR, and NOT the WINDOW IDENTIFIER the
manual page would lead you to expect.
