I agree, but don't see how to do it.
What I had in mind is creating another J-shortcut, or a batch file, on
the Windows desktop similar to
the existing one for Jconsole, the only difference being that it would
open J-console under
WindowsTerminal rather than the normal terminal window. But I don't
know enough about W/T to
see how to do this.
Please forgive me if this is common knowledge!
Thanks,
Mike

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.
Best Regards,
Esa

Thanks. 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.
Cheers,
Mike

Microsoft's console has traditionally been limited to 16 colors. Some
time ago they decided to support a wider range of features that make
it work more like xterm on Linux. It also gives you 24 bit color and
multiple console tabs on the same window.
You can get it for free from the Microsoft store. I believe it
requires at least windows 10:

Your "readme" file says:
* Note:*on windows, you need the stock|jconsole.exe|that comes with
J,/and/you need to run it through the"new" Windows terminal
<https://github.com/microsoft/terminal>.
The ' "new" Windows terminal ' is indeed news to me. I realise you
provide a link to " https://github.com/microsoft/terminal ", but what
does that do, how do we use it, is there a downside? - is all this
common knowledge?

The initial version of the 'j-kvm' terminal driver is here:
https://github.com/tangentstorm/j-kvm
It provides keyboard, video, and mouse support for console mode
applications on windows and linux, (and maybe OSX, if anyone with a
mac cares to test it...<g>)
It kind of does what ncurses does (let you make interactive console
applications), but the API is closer to the old "turbo vision" style
from turbo pascal.
There is also a submodule for working with video buffers as arrays
and
then
rendering them with terminal escape codes, as well as a little
framework for mapping each keypress to its own verb in an event loop.
It's still kind of a work in progress, so suggestions/patches/bug
reports are very welcome.
