We had an old console based application that we wanted to compile for the VM
so I put together a 'console' object. It has a scrolling output log and a
line that functions similar to the IDL command prompt. It functions as a
replacement for PRINT and READ and while it isn't perfect, it should do the
job nicely.

In a *label* widget!? I think I would spend a little more
time in the design cycle before I worried about implementation! :-)
