This thread recently noted two MFDs capable of reading .txt files.

I was wondering if one could be made to run console programs (.exe). It would be a nice way to link my fledgeling C++ skills and apply them to Orbiter. Simple maneuver calculators, scenario editor via MFD, grabbing data quickly without leaving cockpit, apollo guidance emulation, etc. Could it be done?
 
Artlav made a Linux MFD if that helps. An OS in an MFD. Sort of.
Which takes several minutes to boot into X.
About as much an overkill as blowing Earth up to get into space.

Console MFD?
Should be doable, but don't forget - this is Windows console we're talking about, and nothing is more useless.
Don't forget to multiply that useless by the crappy input options Orbiter have for getting text into an MFD.
