I didn't get your point at all. I run TosWin II as an application (in
N_AES.CNF, IIRC). When I start any program with console output, TosWin II
opens its window and redirects there the output of that console
application. Later, when the application has finished, TosWin II closes
its window and the screen is clear as it's been before. I see no
difference between this and the older TosWin.ACC.

I also didn't understand the 'console.ttp' thing you're talking about. I
just noticed I can start my shell (bash) by one click on the pulldown menu
of TosWin II - that's handy, too.
