One very annoying bit about how console windows are handled is that
the script in use is completely tied to the window title. Not so much
a problem for cmd.exe since it doesn't change the title (except while
running a child process and then most likely input is tied up anyway)
but lots of other programs that use the console do :/ And I'm not
aware of any general fix to that issue.
