Out of interest, is there any way to get (read here 'write code for') the wine's cmd.exe better integrated in the window you launch it from when it is not in wineconsole mode.
For example, I would love to see cls clear the screen (I suppose I could just launch 'clear'!), or command retrieval work (and, but by far the lowest priority, colo(u)rs). I *know* you can do it with wineconsole with user and curses backend, but in a 'normal' shell window the shell itself manages it, and is there any programming interface to that? One problem I can perceive is I cant tell between output being redirected to a file, or output being redirected to the shell window (neither query the console attributes) Jason
