Hi Mike, How about making a shortcut for Windows Terminal and making a profile for jconsole there and setting it as default. You can even set a J icon of your choice.

I had a look - downloading and installing the "App" Normally, as you know, we invoke J-console in Windows by running the standard terminal from the shortcut on the Windows desktop. I don't yet see how to make a shortcut in Windows' desktop to run j-console in "WindowsTerminal" : I've discovered that this command can be used to invoke WindowsTerminal in a batch file or a shortcut: explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App but it would be useful to have jconsole start up within WindowsTerminal. I hope there might be a way of adding C:\....\j903-beta\jconsole.cmd as an argument to the shell command above. Meanwhile, doing it the slow way: ie start WindowsTerminal, change directory to the J installation, run jconsole.cmd, your first demo worked fine; however, the mandelbrot graphic was not complete; the lower half was corrupted: I think some lines were lost.
