Hey Fernando. I actually broke down and started using ipython instead of pyCrust recently, despite my dislike for being stuck in the lame Windows console. It is a great shell, (love the ? and "func arg" --> "func(arg)" features).
everytime I am stuck on windows, I have the same problem. I don't know if it is doable, but you may want to see if ipython can work inside console (I don't know how is the console application separated from the shell, and if pyreadline can be used inside something else than cmd.exe):

At least, you can change the font, have tab consoles, and change the size of the window.
Just yesterday it was reported on the ipython list that it works like a charm. Ville Vainio (the trunk maintainer) was very pleased with it, after another user mentioned it on the list. It sounds like a good alternative for those who are forced to use Windows for one reason or another, and would like a sane terminal to work in. Cheers, f
