I think you *can* use virtual workstations before the AES is initialized.
I have never tried it, but I can't see any reasons why not. The physical
workstation must be opened first, but this is perhaps already done (after
all, TOS use VDI to draw the Fuji-logo and the text).

Normally you open virtual workstations with the handle retrieved from
graf_handle(), but all graf_handle() does is to return the handle to the
physical workstation the AES use. Currently this is always the screen.
