1. Keep up to date – check sourceforge for the latest beta builds.
2. Add Console to the Explorer “Send to…” list to open prompts in directories via the context menu. To do so, create a shortcut to console.exe in C:Documents and Settings\SendTo, and append ” -d” to the shortcut target.
3. Don’t hesitate to explore the setting and re-configure the keys & mouse actions, which are very flexible. For example, it’s not hard to get Putty-like quick copy/paste.

Very illuminating to show how much is running. Win3.1 used to have feature that if you held down shift whilst windows was starting it didn’t load any extras. Pity that has gone away!

Maybe you’re referring to something else or using a different version?

I use it exclusively now. It doesn’t quite resize correctly, so you can’t have the window exactly the size you want but that’s a price worth paying I think.
