I've never tried to intercept and display taskwindow output manually,
but is it possible that you have to register yourself as an official
'taskwindow handler' with the Wimp first in order to prevent its being
intercepted and displayed by Edit or StrongED or some other recognised
handler?

And - the usual question - have you added TaskWindow_Output to the list
of Wimp messages to be passed on to Wimp_Poll, or is it getting masked
out by default?

He that would govern others, first should be master of himself.
