-	 terminal, create a new windows station and then set it as the current
-	 windows station.  The subsequent AllocConsole will then be allocated
-	 invisibly.  But, after doing that we have to restore any existing windows
-	 station or, strangely, characters will not be displayed in any windows
-	 drawn on the current screen.  We only do this if we have changed to
-	 a new windows station and if we had an existing windows station previously.
-	 We also close the previously opened work station even though AllocConsole
-	 is now "using" it.  This doesn't seem to cause any problems.
-
-	 Things to watch out for if you make changes in this code:
-
-	 - Flashing, black consoles showing up when you start, e.g., ssh in
-	   an xterm.
-	 - Non-displaying of characters in rxvt or xemacs if you start a
-	   process using setsid: bash -lc "setsid rxvt".  */
