An alternative is to install ConEmu and set up a startup.txt file.  My 
heavily encrypted :) version follows

cmd /F:ON /T:02 /K cd C:\Users\Mark\Documents\MyPython 
"-new_console:t:MyPython"
cmd /F:ON /T:02 /K cd c:\Users\Mark\pythonissues "-new_console:t:Python 
Issues"
cmd /F:ON /T:02 /K cd c:\cPython\PCBuild "-new_console:t:cPython"
cmd /F:ON /T:02 /K cd C:\Users\Mark\Documents\Cash\Python 
"-new_console:t:Cash Python"
C:\Python34\Scripts\ipython.exe --matplotlib "-new_console:t:iPython"

Once you've overcome the encryption life is far, far easier on Windows. 
  You can do really advanced concepts like cut and paste relatively 
easily, but please don't take my word for it, try it yourself.
