Dale,
activate window "debug output"
debugout "Hi Dale"
VFP also can send event logging and other diagnostic output to this window. Personally I find it as one of the most invaluable tools in the product. If you set the debugger to FoxPro frame that window alone can be easily shown and hidden without all the other debug windows cluttering up stuff.
