You cannot close the console window AFAIK, however you can
redirect
any console output by replacing system/ports/output.
(You could for e.g. write a little port handler that just inserts
all the input into a string; then you can use it to capture your
output into a string.)

Maybe you could do the same way as /Link does when opening the
console, i.e. it just launches a script that HALTs. This gives you
a new REBOL process with the console open; anything done at the
console wouldn't interfere with your program.

Gabriele.
