Since we have this new Shell with nice colors, I was wondering if it is possible to open a new shell using a different configuration than the default one.
I have configured some Shell-Startup files which can be called using the "FROM" option, but there seems to be now way to use a different "console.prefs" file.
I would like to use such an option to differentiate between Shells, e.g. the one I open from AmiDock should have the default colors, the one I use to test some scripts is opened using a Key shortcut configured in AllKeys and I would like it to open with a different background/text color.

I think you can only change the con handler icons tooltype, I do not think it's possible to pick a console prefs, but what you might do, is copy a console.prefs to env: before you start the shell, you might write a small script that opens the shell.
