Ok, so I am finally having the same issue as you, unless you have figured
it out.

So, far, I can INCLUDE this file.f and there will be a Parent
Window. And there is a Console Window when I left lick. I can
call TRIAL and it runs successfully in the Console even when I
run CORETEST. But this is what is happening:

MYAPP runs fine only when run from the SF Console and it works ok,
but when running the exe CORETEST, only the Console Window displays.

REQUIRES DOSBOX
REQUIRES FORK
REQUIRES MYAPP / main window app file
REQUIRES CORE01 / console window app file

VARIABLE hCONSOLE

: LAUNCH-CONSOLE ( -- threadHandle ) / tried calling from
MYAPP
   hCONSOLE @ ( Already Launched? ) ?DUP ?EXIT / but only works if it's
here
   FORKS> /
could it be the fork
   ( We are now in a new thread )
   DOS-CONSOLE OPEN-PERSONALITY
   BEGIN
           TRIAL / code in console window app file
          \ CR ." Hello world! I am a CORE01 Console Window!"
          \ CR ." Press a Key " KEY EMIT
    0 UNTIL
   hCONSOLE OFF ;

[+SWITCH AppMessages ( -- res )
   WM_LBUTTONDOWN RUN: LAUNCH-CONSOLE hCONSOLE ! 0 ;
SWITCH]

PROGRAM CORETEST
