Are you compiling as a console application or regular Windows application? If a console application, the standard outputs should appear there already. If it's built as a Windows application, then one trick is to create a debugging console yourself, and redirect the standard inputs/outputs there. I think something like this should work in that case (not tested, but you can search and find examples on the web):

    ::AllocConsole();
    freopen( "CONIN$", "r", stdin );
    freopen( "CONOUT$", "w", stdout );
    freopen( "CONOUT$", "w", stderr );

I will check it out. I will open a couple more issues soon.It’s a great script engine.
