The console widow seems to always take up a certain percentage of the FGU application window width. So if I drag the FGU application window across two screens the width of the console screen increases, always covering almost 40% of the window width. Such a wide console window isn't really needed when you use two screens. Is there anyway you can change the consoles screen width?

It covers the upper quadrant of the application by default. There is no way to change the size.

You should be able to just open the log in something like Notepad++ and then refresh the file as needed. Then you wouldn't need the console open. Not ideal, but a work around that would let you size it as desired.

OK. Thanks for the tip. I see that Notepad++ has a tail -f feature, that looks promising.

Note: I can confirm that using Notepad++'s tail -f feature makes Notepad++ work like the console window inside FGU. The tail -f feature is the last item on the "View" menu.
