So you can use CreateProcess() with dwCreationFlags += CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE, instead of AllocConsole() And STARTUPINFO.dwX holds the offscreen position.
Interesting idea, but I don't think I'm following you here. CreateProcess() will create me a new process, and I can't see how I'd read/write to that process's console from my perl script.
