It seems that Windows doesn't know how to display the output. Anyway,
I found Rick Towler's console object a very enlightening solution. I
just have to make some small changes to meet my needs. Basically I
just added a context menu so that it can save/clear what's in the text
widget. So now it can be easily used as a log console. Imagine how
wonderful to have your old console based programs running anywhere
interactively without adding complicated GUIs. :)

Oh, well, sure, a TEXT widget. But a *TEST* widget.
That would really have been something! :-)

Cheers,

TEXT Widget!! I mean text widget, not test widget.

WOW! I have never considered running a VM that was not
a GUI. Creative idea. :)

As to what's going on, the stdout for windows is perhaps not defined,
not opened or not realized etc. I'd suggest making a test widget (for instance)
and sending the output there.

FSTAT says that the output unit -1 (stdout) is open, but obviously the
output is redirected to nowhere (or maybe to somewhere).

That sounds very good! Is your adapted version somewhere availible?
I did not even find the version of Rick Towler you mentioned. Any hints?
