..just out of interest, could some of you post code showing the capabilities of the console window?
i know theres a few tricks you can do but, i would like to get an idea of what kind of creative stuff people have managed to do with it.
thanks,

Here is probably the best tutorial on how to do everything with the DOS console... an introduction into 'event-model' programing.

Well, you can make the console fill the screen, thus eliminates the "window" aspect of it.
In main, call FS() to see the result, this function does however require theCode:void FS ( void ); // prototype
void FS ( void )
{
keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0x38, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0x1c, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0x1c, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0x38, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
}
windows.h header file, so you will need the platform SDk installed
