I'm actually considering a very simple SysTray icon which would print all the STDOUT messages to a little textbox rather than a cmd prompt window. I don't think it would be terrible difficult, and adding in a little "Close Session" button which mimics the F4 (SIGTERM?) action would ne simple. You'd still get all the messages and such, but it would minimize to the systray rather than a cmd prompt. Any thoughts out there? Developers? Should I waste my time? -- -bk
