[plt-scheme] MrEd and Xemacs

That example solves a different problem. It's creating a console for
I/O. I'm looking for a way to use existing I/O handles (not necessarily
to a console) when they're available.

Most likely, the problem reduces to knowing when the initial standard
file handles are useful and when they aren't. In other words, when
XEmacs starts MrEd, the standard file handles are presuambly connected
to the XEmacs buffer, but MrEd doesn't know that.

Maybe there's no way to tell the difference in Windows, and we just
have to add a command-line flag to MrEd.
