ForgotMyUserID YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 8	print to console area from Windows May 5th, 2009, 9:53am   According to the reference, 'print' uses the console area.  How do I view the console area from Windows? I tried running cmd.exe and then running processing.exe from the command line, but that didn't help Processing ran in another window and the command line returned to the prompt.
