In order to use the console, the xconout2 device from Torsten Scherer
(TeSche) must be installed. This device intercepts all programs direct
screen output and makes them available to other programs via a pipe.
TosWin2 gives the option of redirecting these outputs to a window so that
they no longer end up directly on screen.
If the window is iconified, it opens automatically as soon as there is
new input.

If the window is closed, TosWin2 logs off from xconout2 and the output
appears again directly on screen. So it makes sense to have the console
always opened in TosWin2 and you will never have to worry about wild
screen output again!

You can tell TosWin2 is monitoring the console by looking if the
u:\dev\tw-con file exists.
