== Console2 ==

This is a little nicer than the default windows cmd shell.

== Installation ==

 * [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/|Home Page]]
 * [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/files/console-devel/2.00/|Downloads]]

Download the executable and install. Note that there are 32 and 64 bit builds, each of which will align themselves with the appropriate directories (i.e. Program Files || Program Files (x86)) on 64 bit windows.

== Shell Environment ==

When we're ros'ing we often want to load up an environment script with the shell, usually setup.bat at the root of your installed ros stacks.

 * Edit->Settings->Tabs
 * Create a new tab called `win_ros` with Shell:

{{{
cmd /k C:\work\src\setup.bat
}}}

Or wherever your setup script is.

 * Create a shortcut on your desktop with target: `Console.exe -t win_ros`
