As far as I know, window doesn't take a -f option. So it's probably
trying to run the command '-f /lib/font/...' in the new window, which
fails, and since that's all you wanted it to do, the window closes
again.

So looking at /rc/bin/window I don't see a -f. Also am I correct in
thinking that it is no longer possible to get the usage as it is only
in fn oldway?
