Hi,

The console window is much too large in that it use around 1/4 of the vertical space on 768 pixel screen. I would like the command-key and menu option to toggle it on or off entirely for coding or turn it on for debugging. In this way, we can see more of the program structure, allowing us to write better programs.

Once more, the attractive lower light-blue bar block (sans-text) seems to have no purpose (Dunsel).

Toggling and allowing for a greater console resize are solutions that are respectful to the users needs and the reality of smaller screens.

Thank you,
BrendaEM
