know it sounds crazy, but a cvs admin checked it in...it seems CVS caches diffs in a user RCS dir on the server, if you dig youll see the comment was "fixed_bug_in_shell", and at the same time a fix was committed by someone else to externals/ggee/shell...perhaps ssh keys somehow facilitated this?

clearly the solution is to make a font selection dialog. saw some nice examples on the tcl-wiki...my question is what is the standard procedure for storing these prefs between sessions? some new delineated section in .pdrc?

if you care about adjusting scrollback maybe, couldnt get mswConsole to work on win32, and couldnt get the big box to disappear when using -stderr, but lets wait till its actually out. if those work i dont see a reason to not use it...but since they all work in matjuConsole, maybe just using that would be simpler? not my decision...

was thinking a 'view' menu in the top window to invidually show/hide the console log, peak-meters, and message/gui input...and saving this state between session rather than polluting more command arguments...refer to comment above about where to store settings..
