I think of a few solutions to your problem:

1. Pass the information to the child as arguments using the TTY_ARGV attribute
   of the tty's window_create.

2. Use a pipe between the SunView program (the father), and the TTY subwindow
   program (the child), through which the child will notify its parent of
   its being ready to receive input.  Once the message is received by the
   father, it will send the required input to the TTY subwindow by means of
   ttysw_input() function.
