Gil, there's Mark's new ooConsole package in the incubator (
https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/code-0/HEAD/tree/incubator/ooConsole/).
It might be a candidate for inclusion in 5.0
*"ooConsole is an ooRexx extension package that provides access to the
Windows console API."*
I can't tell whether it's ready for release, as the binaries have yet to be
built. There also seems to be no documentation yet. If you're interested,
you might want to check it out and help bring it into 5.0
