Answer 1

Maybe this will work for you: set a breakpoint on the close } in Main, and then look at the console window before it closes. You can even copy the text out of it if you need to.

On every machine that I use for development, I configure my console window in a certain way, which happens to make this approach work better:

1. Run cmd.exe
2. ALT-SPACE, D
3. In Options, enable QuickEdit mode.
4. In Layout, set Buffer Height to 9999
5. Click OK
6. Exit the CMD window.
