This is possible to do, but you need click on the icon in the top left corner and then properties. Full instructions here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/319317/478893.

You can also do this by running a third-party console app.

As a post earlier in the thread indicates, you can often do the same things on Windows but it requires a little extra work.




Literally every third-party console app sucks, though. Making it even harder is that the terminal emulators available through cygwin are bad, too.

Last time I needed to use Windows, I installed sshd in Cygwin and used Penguinet to connect to localhost. It was that bad.


For what it's worth, I find Console2 tolerable.
