I think it does not behave itself. I think Windows consoles don't work like UNIX /dev/pty*, but like /dev/vcs*. It seems like windows console programs work with screen buffers, something like using curses. That's why there are Windows API functions for changing colour and moving cursor position in the console window's screen. Piping cmd.exe to some other process doesn't seem to be enough. -- Aram Hăvărneanu
