title: Open console window in mono
body: <p>I'd like my Mono application to be able to open and close a console window at will. I know how to do this on Windows with it's <code>kernel32.dll</code> but I'd like it to be platform-independent. If this is not possible I want it to implement different methods for the different OS's.</p>
  
  <p>If it is not possible at all I can always resort to using a self-made console window but that would probably take way longer to implement and won't be as compatible. I really want to be sure whether it's possible or not before I work on a custom console window.</p>
  
  <p>The console window only has to be used for output, no input functionality is required. (It will only feature as a way to show log messages.)</p>
