But that's just running Crafty by itself. I'd like to be able to run >winboard and crafty at the same time and have the crafty console also. You can't do both. The I/O that normally goes to the "console" is directed into a pipe to xboard. It can't go to the pipe and to the "console". There is a hotkey that will pop up a window to let you type in a command to the engine, but you have to be careful. You can _not_ enter moves there of course as that would get the engine and xboard out of sync.
