if you work with a couple of directories and don't want your screen cluttered with dos boxes, check out tci..(which offers better copy/paste capabilities than ms' console box)
you can call tci from freecommander using the favorite tools box (menu Extra/Favorite Tools/Edit) but need to make a one liner script in a .bat file with
for eg assuming you installed tci to the same path..
"c:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCI2\tci.exe" /r C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k cd /D %CD%
and of course setting %ActivDir% for 'Start Folder' in the fav tool settings
tci also offers itself as a target for drag/drop of text .. so if you don't want to type in long directory names as parameters in the console you can drag and drop them from freecommander (that is drag a folder onto the console window).. something which you can't do with ms' console.. there's also another nice console program called powercmd and can starts conveniently from on a folder's context menu .. it too can capture drag/drop text and does multitabs
if you use the console alot you probably heard of cygwin..unfortunately i haven't been able to call directly into cygwin straight from freecommander.. but can call cygwin once inside a tci tab box.. if you use cygwin are able to do this.. i'd like to know how you did it so that i don't have to type cygwin.bat everytime .. thanks for the feedback folks.. and thank you marek for such a good program.. keep up the good work
