Comment(by hamish):

 Replying to [comment:50 neteler]:
 > The dosbox is minimized as desired.

 which is nice for the current condition of having an empty dosbox, but
 just to restate the ideal goal: either present the GRASS> prompt in the
 dosbox terminal(1), or don't present a terminal window at all(2) and use a
 wrapper like .pyw to avoid the superfluous empty dosbox.


 (1)current way in G7, some votes to do that in G6

 (2)current way in G6, no votes so far to keep it

  --but not touching it without more feedback.
