The only way I know is creating a file in your home named .tkconrc

put inside something like this

#
set ::tkcon::OPT(history) 150
######################################################
## My TkCon Resource File

# Use a fixed default font
tkcon font fixed; # valid on unix
tkcon font Courier 12; # valid everywhere

# Use a pink prompt
#set ::tkcon::COLOR(prompt) pink
######################################################

Write a proper tkconrc is quite annoying. This is the manual.

Have fun experimenting.

I don't know If there is a simpler way.
