Xchars, new tech, starting to work

The new tech is he symbol table I stuck up front of old Xchars. Its helps a lot with maintaining proper xcb order of events. The caller need only remember their the name they gave for the new xcb variable.

I have NewCon and NewWin both works, again, from the command line. Rectangles are new, something that hold a block of text on the screen. Haven'r tested them yet. Nor have I text draw DrawText which requires a graphic context.

The hierarchy is enforced at the command line sequence, connect first, window next, rect where needed,m and so on. I can look in the symbol table and tell if the pre-requisites for a xcb cal are met.

This is a no brainer replacement for regular terminal emulation.
