Ouch.  Clue bats hurt; I think I've just walked into a tar pit,
haven't I?  Now I seem to recall battles over winedbg and how consoles
work.  Sadly, I can't remember all of the gory details (hence,
the need for the clue bat).

With the attached patch, winedbg --console starts a Win32 style console for
it's session, and indeed, the Win32 console editing stuff works
out just fine.

But I can't resize the window and don't have a scroll bar.

But there is an alternate and/or better way to do this, isn't there?
I set WINECONSOLE or something, right?  More clues would be welcome.

Cheers,

Jeremy
