I've tried to repurpose it to support up to 3 (or 4) consoles, but it's rather ugly and Ian(?) didn't liked it. Refactoring it for dynamic number of console is much more work... -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
