cmd shell: dockable or toolbar?

Hi Folks,

Does anybody know a way to have the cmd.exe shell behave as a dockable window or toolbar on the side of the screen? or an alternate Windows cmd terminal that can behave this way?

Ideally, it would be able to be auto-hidden as well.

I have a shell open most of the time for commands, manipulating files, etc. and it occurred to me it would be more convenient to have one I pop-out on the side of the screen rather than alt-tab to find it.

Thanks!

arg... there was a thing to make the command prompt show/hide like in a video game, but I forget what it was called. >.<

That link gives me a 404. Direct download. Be warned though, requires .NET.

Thanks for the heads-up...that looks like a nice console and I'll keep my eye on it as it matures.

I'm still partial to the idea of toolbar and it doesn't seem to do quite that at this point. I'll have to play around with it and see if it clicks...(not passing break properly is a potential deal-breaker but I'm sure it will be fixed at some point).
