Yes, that is what I was doing with the patch, making all help and info commands
awae of which window they should act on, and when I talk that commands should be
written so they aware of which window they run in. 

But as I understand Juri, he is trying to make a general approach that works in
all cases, with all commands. So is how I interpret his first message about
general method to send input to any window. Perhaps I misunderstand Juri, but my
answer was about that general case, when any commands could possibly be sent to
any window.
