It's really bad enough. Moving the history handling into the console still seems somewhat logical, but the whole idea of having the TAB expansion handled in the console is ultimately broken, even more so for job control. Luckely, there are enough precautions taken to get rid of this nonsense in ViNCEd, and finally move that code where it belongs - the Shell namely.
CON: is just a very thin interface layer around the console.device. Or rather, should be.
