Cconws() writes a string to GEMDOS handle 1 (normally 'con:').

9 (0x09)

All GEMDOS versions.

str is a pointer to a null-terminated character string to be written to the output stream.

	pea	str
	move.w	#$09,-(sp)
	trap	#1
	addq.l	#6,sp

Cconws() returns a WORD conatining the number of characters output or 0 if an error occurred.

With GEMDOS versions below 0.15, this handle should not be redirected to a write-only device as the call attempts to read from the output stream to process special keys.

No line feed translation is performed on outputted characters so both an ASCII 13 and ASCII 10 must be sent to force a new line. In addition, the system checks for special keys so a Ctrl-C embedded in the string will terminate the process.
