I see what you're saying here Psychophanta, but in my opinion it seems a little inconsistant (and as far as I've seen undocumented). For example, as in the code below, you can't do the same with a structure.

BTW this isn't a gripe, it's just a personal thought! :?

If you copy an array without specifying the element (ie a2()=a1() ) then both arrays point to the same memory space, so if you subsequently change either array both are updated.

Works perfectly. Don't know how I managed to miss it though when I searched msdn!

Here's the best solution I've got so far. This results in a titled console window at 80x25 characters that can not be resized to a larger size. Obviously this solution is for a Windows machine only
