Wine console windows vs. [x]terminal

[Segin]

Hi, I notice that Wine opens a Windows-like console window for console 
apps if they are started using the 'winedbg' loader. Is it possible to 
get all console apps to run like this without using winedbg? There is a 
Windows console program using pdcurses that I am trying to check for 
compatability, and having to startup winedbg to get the program to 
function is a bit much. It should also be noted that I do not read the 
wine-users mailing list at this time, but I do read wine-devel.

use
wineconsole --backend=user foo.exe
instead of
wine foo.exe

I guess wineconsole --backend=user <somecmd> is what you want
