I too was frustrated with that aspect of the debugger.  I have just discovered
that you can use the "skip to here" function to re-run from any point, even 
from the beginning.  If you select the first statement, then select skip to
here, the program will start at that point.  I haven't had a chance to fully
test this out, but it seems to work.
I have also used the console routines to resize and even rename to console
window.  (using stdin and stdout as the FILE *).  I had to edit console.c to
make it work, though.
Hope these discoveries will help other programmers using ThinkC.
