In the UNIX/Linux world the terminal emulator is just another GUI
application. xterm came as part of Xorg-s X11 package, XFCE provides
xfce4-terminal and there are others - take your pick.

However, Windows is different. The command-line console, aka 'the dos
box' is a built-in part of Windows from as far back as I remember - if
you need an X11 terminal you install an X11 app like PuTTY and this can
only be used to provide remote access. Since the Windows console is built
in, it may be difficult or impossible to launch it from within another
application such as geany.

Certainly, the only Windows editors I've used that provided command line
access were either run in the dosbox (microEmacs) or had their own,
fairly basic, command line interface (PFE).
