Under AmigaDOS, CON: opens up a GUI console window. I forget the exact 
syntax, but you can do something like

   CON:/0/0/320/240/My window title

to open a window positioned at (0,0) that is 320 by 240 pixels large, 
with the specified title. There's even syntax for deciding which 
"gadgets" (widgets) it should have.

Those Amiga guys had some pretty sophisticated stuff happening, man.
