Re: Console on Sourceforge with Cygwin

Oh, no, it doesn't work like that.  Command-line options are for wimps who
read manpages!  Console uses menus!  MENUS, man!  Now, there's real
configurability!

Besides, why would you want to launch a Cygwin bash shell if you can play
with all those colors for the command prompt?
