Here’s an idea: write your own tool and use that:
«my command»|«my tool that catches output»You could do that tool in a dozen lines of perl and use tm_dialog to open the output console. Within a few hours, you should have something vastly superior to that crappy window I killed.
While true (and I have done that), the key here is "Within a few hours" * languages/compilers/whatever used... The old method, while it may have been crappy, allowed me to get something reasonable within a minute or three.
If you did the tool as I outlined, that is just as re-usable as the old system.
