Great! Much better. Still tells me to type $gtk.help when I forget and just type help... but I can live with that. This thread can probably go away now.

As pointed out by Brynnon... using puts as in "puts $gtk.help" works around the console issue.

Good call. That worked. Thanks. I honestly thought I'd tried that. That is a useful workaround until it's fixed. Interestingly enough... "puts help" prints out "Type $gtk.help into the console."... which is a very python response. 

For Mojave or later screen recording is built in.  shift-command-5 pulls it up.  Be aware this is exactly the behavior I'm seeing on Windows 10. On this Mac I'm running the Catalina 10.15 developer beta... but that doesn't seem to matter since the behavior is identical on the windows version. Here's a link to the screen capture. Let me know if you want me to try any other commands or run any code to introspect the environment.

I just checked the windows version. It doesn't work there either. The console comes up and goes away correctly... but no commands work inside it.

Thanks for the demo. I noticed it only works with this latest version. I tried it with the previous version and it error'd out.

I just downloaded the latest version for mac and am noticing the console is not working. Anybody else seeing this? I'll test out the windows version when I get a chance and see if it's a mac only bug.
