How to maximize the command console of Tomcat 4.1 server

I am running Tomcat 4.1 which comes as part of JWSDP 1.1 package on a Win 2000 operating system. When i start the server by running startup.bat, a seperate command window gets launched, but it is minimized. I like to see all the debug messages echoed to my command window as they come, insted of me refreshing the logs\server.launcher.log file.
I tried tweaking launcher.xml without any luck.
I would appreciate any help to solve this problem.
thanks,
Ramana

I had posted this question to
'jwsdp-feedback@sun.com' and got the following answer from them....

I put in a bug on this deficiency sometime back and just added your
comments to the bug. It has not been fixed yet. If you are working on a
Unix/Linux system, you could get the equivalent of what you want by
doing a 'tail -f launcher.server.log', but on Windows I don't know of
anyway to do the equivalent. You'll just have to bring the logs up in a
text editor or type them out from a command window.

Found solution for this problem:
From:Ramesh Mandava [rameshm@ha2sca-mail1.SFBay.Sun.COM]
You can do this by using "catalina.bat run" from <JWSDP_HOME>\bin ( in a command tool ).
FYI: The short cut on the windows startup menu runs "catalina start" which makes the command console run minimized
The startup.bat too runs "catalina start" which makes the command console run minimized
