Right. Already, this get(0) object is named "Console" while its 
available properties are all about the screen device ;)
IMO,

  * the true root should rather be either the screen or the IDE or the
    "system" as addressed with getsystemmetrics(). In all cases, the
    "Console" would already be one of its children.
  * the true console properties would rather be:
      o its sizes : lines(),
      o its background color
      o its font_family
      o its font_color
      o its font_size
      o its menus
      o its toolbar status
      o its toolbar contents, one child per tool:
          + icon
          + callback
      o the text of its status bar
      o ...


A short dream during the nap:

  * rename the get(0) object "System" (likely in %h_p())
  * make all properties addressed with getsystemmetrics() properties of
    get(0)
