Console power

If you are looking for some command prompt alternative. Eventhough I think that the one embedded to XP is still good enough after some tweaks:

  • Options | Command History | Buffer Size | 500
  • Options | Command History | Discard Old Duplicates | True
  • Options | Edit Options | QuickEdit Mode | True
  • Layout | Screen buffer size | Height | 999
  • Layout | Window size | Height | 50

You can use one of the following:

4NT by JPSoft is pretty interesting but still a bit expensive $70

CMDNow seems pretty intersting (I am testing this one), it allow you to do "stuff" on opened windows.
