If you have a question, you have not asked it. In any case /w8-/w15 
can't be identical as the names are different.

Perhaps you think that window descriptors should be different but there 
is no reason why that should be so. You can change the contents of the 
descriptors with xmode (or wmode if you have it) to anything you want. 
It is not even necessary to adjust the descriptors if you change the 
properties of the window before you initialize them (iniz). That can be 
done with the commands wcreate or display. If you use display, then the 
call DWSET is used; $1B $20 sty cpx cpy szx szy prn1 prn2 prn3 where 
sty=style, cpx and cpy are the coords of the top left corner, szx and 
szy are the dimensions of the window, prn1=foreground palette, 
prn2=background palette, and prn3=border palette.
