anyway, I'd like to get back to simple vs complex consoles if I got you right, a simple console handle should be in fact nothing more than a regular file handle which unix fd is set to either 0 or 1 it means that no enhanced mode is used, nothing but the standard libc line editing facilities of the input stream so the use would adequate for a simple program that just uses equivalent of puts/gets (and associated) functions
Exactly yes.
however, I find this very limiting for people who want to use a CUI exe in a pure unix console mode (either when X11 isn't started, or a session done over IP in telnet for example) that's why I was wondering if wineconsole shouldn't also support a (n)curse like interface (in addition to the USER32 one) to help in this area
Sure, once the architecture is in place we can have different implementations of wineconsole, including curses support. The important thing is that this is in a separate application, so that ReadConsole doesn't need to know about things like xterm escape sequences.
last but not least, recent exchanges made a simple < 1kloc patch a more serious project of several kloc :-/
I can do the wineserver part if you like.

well, the protocol between wineserver and wineconsole has to seen in details too... so, I think I can do everything... however, I still have a few changes in my tree I'd like to finish first... - DDEML (interprocess message passing) - finish the pedump I wrote - several debugger goodies - ...
A+
