Can you get a command prompt within a Tool Window?

I do a lot of stuff at the command line.  It sure would be nice to have a tool window with cmd.exe running in it.  I remember way back having this feature with CodeWright.

    In earlier betas I thought there was this thing called the Quick Console.  What happened to it   Now that I think about it perhaps it was only used for output/interaction while a console program was running.

    You can host any ActiveX or .NET User Control within a tool window, the only problem is that you need a control that is the console. There was a sample on CodeProject.com that did something like this, but within Windows Explorer. You could use some of the ideas from that sample in your own.
