The is a global structure that you can poke to change the console
window size, title, font, etc. It is described in an appendix or
chapter in the "library reference" manual that comes with THINK
C 4 (the smaller of the two manuals).

However, I don't recall any mention of this strange behavior under
MultiFinder. Futhermore, I almost always run under MultiFinder and
I've never observed this behavior. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
