Hi guys,

Instead of hacking away on this old terminal, what about simply 
including another nice Open Source project?

On Windows we have a replacement terminal, which has all the features 
you want, and also supports tabs like Konsole. I've used it for 
several years, and it works great. Have a look and see if you like it, 
then we can add it to the repo:
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/

Original name, ey? :-)
