[Class] CMD Console

[Ronins]

I was going through some classes when LibCon (http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/9 ... e-support/) inspired me to create a new class for CMD Console. So, here is my version for Console support

Some of the features are:

• Handling multiple ProgressBars
• Event handling (Keyboard and mouse)
• Can use any Console or standard output. With this, you can write directly on CMD, or Output can be given at Scite4Autohotkey standard output, or can even create a new console
• WinTitle and Icon can be changed
• Support for multiple screen buffer handling
• Consoles can be embedded in a GUI (still alpha)

Hey, I fixed the problem. Basically the problem was in VarCapacity being 1024*1024 bytes.
You can go ahead and try it again.
Let me know if you get any other problem.

And thanks for reporting the bug
