Testing of terminal launching in Explorer

 

Tested on WinXP Home. Responding to this with feedback, rather than a bug.

It doesn't work quite as described. AIUI, on Windows at the moment
there will already be a console window associated with BE - either
because 'bzr explorer' was invoked from the command line, or because
using Start/Programs/Bazaar/Explorer generates an empty window as the
'parent' of the BE app gui.

What BE Tools/Advanced_Commands  apparently does (quite reasonably,
perhaps) is switch the 'cwd' of that existing Command Prompt window to
be the root directory of the current location. That itself is quite
useful, and might be all that is required/expected. It's just that,
pedantically, it doesn't actually launch a fresh 'terminal'.
