I don't know if there is a parameter for CON:... strings to prevent the
window from getting active (I don't have my AmigaDOS manuals here).
If there is then use that in the console string. Otherwise you may want
to check if a third-party console replacement offers this.
Window activation of a console window is not under Miami's control.
The window is activated by the CON: stream handler when Miami tries to
write to it. Miami never opens the window by itself. SnoopDOS is
different because it does not use a console window. It has its own
intuition window -- but of course that way you lose flexibility.
