No, I think I'll do it, I just have to ask the right questions, eg:
[X] Capture error messages (a console must be displayed)
[X] Show console window (strongly recommended if any input is expected)

as opposed to, say:
[X] Hide console

As you know, I am shy on quite a few options windows (so sue me, it's
a *seven week old* baby! blink

Ideally, you'll be able to configure edita to run one particular
source that fashion, but not others, however, that is way down my
(lengthy) to-do list.

PS I have just finished mangling the menus (in English, less the
context menu); I have a point now at which I can attempt translation,
though I will migrate that context menu first. Part of me suddenly
suspects I might not have needed to bother, but it is data-driven now,
which is (usually) better anyway, and definitely much more flexible.
Thanks again for guiding me in the right direction.
