#      Author: Jussi Jumppanen

#    Language: Python Macro
#
# Description: This Lua script creates a new Console2 console window from
#              within the Zeus IDE. It will create the console in the same
#              drive and directory of the active file. It will also maintain
#              the current working directory.
