The "console" being talked about is the platform-independent console
code that now exists in the 2.1.90 beta. It is this platform-independent
code that allows scripts such as %redit.r to work (REBOL-based editor).
Previously, it was very difficult or impossible to position the cursor
at any row/column position desired. However, that is very easy to do
now. Look at notes.html (I believe) which came with the beta
distribution. It has the console code information in there.
