Description of the new feature/enhancement

add a command to change the profile after initial boot. for example if your running a bat file and it wants the profile while running to change the foreground text color to green and the background image to nature.png it should be able to do so. Just an example default bg color and other properties would also be nice.

The user would be able to launch multiple batch files in one window without having a newTab for every batch file to get the proper profile up.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

profile "My Awesome Profile"
where the profile is already imported into the profiles json

@jredfox So, just to be clear, our interpretation of the feature request is: if you run a batch script, you should be able to interact with and customize the settings of the session (i.e. background image, colors, font family, other profile/appearance settings, etc...).

Is that right?
