[comp.sys.atari.st] question about desktop

ggiordan@polyob.UUCP (02/16/87)

I am writing a desk accessory that will display a file to the screen.
I have the megamax c compiler and from the shell there is no easy way to 
look at a file without quiting the shell.
I chose to do it without opening a window, just opening a vworkstation
(a la the vt52 emulator)  the program works fine but after it is done
i cannot get the "shelltop" ( or desktop when run from desktop) to 
redraw. closing the workstation doesnot seem to cause a redraw.



Does anyone out there in net-land have any ideas how I can do this?
