Creating a faux console
How can I create a fake console?
What I mean is, how can I create a window that looks and behaves like a console but it's just an illusion. I hope that makes sense.
I'm asking for many reasons but the main reason is because I'd like to have the ability to resize that window or display an image.
Can someone guide me in the right direction?

How you do it depends on what OS you are targeting the program for. Mac, *nix or Windows.
For Windows you can create a basic window, and size a multi-line edit control to fill the window's client area.
An example of how to create a simple Windows word processor:
