is there a way to launch a Cocoa application that will not become the

Well yes, you can make Cocoa apps be background only, but I'm not sure
on the specifics of that.
By console, you mean the Login: > console mode ?
UNIX terminology, based on /dev/console. It means actually using the
computer interface directly not remotely, when you login as >console you
get up the standard TTY console for /dev/console, but when you are in
the GUI mode you are actually logged on to /dev/console too. I hope that
made sense, if it doesn't, feel free to shoot me.
BTW, on the form issue, the yellow ones of Mac OS 9 had one pro missing
in OS X: you didn't have to close them.
Hmm yes, it would be nice if that was re-introduced.
