I ran your first script as a startup file with NitrOS-9 6309L2 v3.2.6 
using the 80 track disk. Term was the 32 vdg screen but both cowin and 
covdg were in os9boot along with w1-w7.

The test was made using MESS v1.09 rather than a Coco3 but that should 
not matter. NitrOS-9 booted into a vdg term and three 80 column text 
windows were started with black screens and different colored text.

Just to be sure, I then copied the image to a real floppy and booted 
from a Coco3 with 512K RAM. This test was also successful.

Don't know what to say as I can't reproduce your problem.

=====================

Hold everything, stop the presses!!!

Is the   Setime <1   in your script a typo or what is actually in your 
startup file? Nothing after that line will run because it will generate 
an error. The correct syntax when used in a script file is:

Setime .1
