Having a problem with the console...

I've been meddling about trying to create a program using torque's default classes...
(I copied & heavily modified the game/main.cc code)

I've got it partially working (the main loop starts), but i am confused as to why the main.cs script doesn't appear to be called....

In the main.cs script, i have it calling

enableWinConsole(true);

However, the console isn't enabled(the text one), and all i essentially get is nothing. (No "%" to tell me the console is on)

If i manually call the enable console function, e.g via :

stdConsole->enable(true);

It comes on, but it doesn't work(naturally)... keeps saying "eval : unknown command".

If i use the console object, and force it to execute :

Con::executef(1, "enableWinConsole(true);");

It still doesn't enable the console.

It seems the enableWinConsole() function isn't being registered... have i missed a vital include/function somewhere? or is it something else?

(I'm utilizing the engine via the engine lib file)
And if your wondering, i have left the code in to call the main.cs :p

Thanks for your help

Can anyone help?
