I saw (from the Window Spy Tool) that you can use (like Mac said in the other topic) @WINTEXT() (ex. %%Text = @WINTEXT(@WINATPOINT(10,10)), where the numbers are the X and Y position of the text.

Well, I thought this code would work, bit it didn't:

Eeeeeeeeh... If you don't want to have a visible window it doesn't work.
That is, I think, the reason why Tim want's to use the vdsconsole.dll...

But you can also move the DOS-Window to X:9999 Y:9999 or something.
